The tie-dye technique for dyeing fabric has been around since the fourth century before current. Although I am guessing it is the bright swirling designs of the 60's that you are most likely referring to. The technique is still around today and although fashion trends changed in the 80's there certainly were old hold outs that continued to decorate clothing in that manner.

For a colorfast tie dye a fiber reactive dye is needed such as Procion Dye from the Dharma Trading Company. Rit dye can be used but is not fiber reactive and not colorfast and the tie dye will fade colors after each wash.
No. I've had a couple of tie-dye shirts for several years, and they never faded after not ironing them (I never ironed them, and I used cheap tie-dye spray from my local craft store.)
Charles E. Pellow invented tie dye for kids, tweens, and teens and all other ages for that matter.
Tie dye came to the United States in the 1960's from Japan.
Tie dye originates from Africa and Asia. It was brought to the western world in the 60's during the flower revolution!
