Workers hang thousands of metres of different coloured fabrics to dry so they are able to be made into t-shirts and vests. Iron wires are used between bamboo frameworks to create giant washing lines for the final part of the dying process as the fabrics are dried in the sun in Narayanganj, Bangladesh. Bright strands of blue, pink, orange, red, purple, yellow, magenta and green-dyed cloths hang above the grassy field in a dazzling network of interlocking colours. After five to six hours in the sun, the fabric is used to make dresses. This is the final part of the dying process after which the cloth is made into t-shirts and vests at the garment each day, which are then sold both locally and internationally.
