Shibori can be used not only to
create patterns on cloth but to turn fabric from a
two-dimensional into a three-dimensional object. The word is
used here to refer to any process that leaves a "memory on
cloth". In addition to traditional methods it encompasses
high-tech processes like heat-set on polyester (made famous
by Issey Miyake's revolutionary pleated clothing), melt-off
on metallic fabric, the fulling and felting that make it
possible to turn all-natural fabrics into three-dimensional
shapes, weaving resist (in which, for instance, a warp
thread can be pulled to gather the cloth to resist dye), and
devore, in which just one part of a mixed fabric is
dissolved with chemicals. 139.95
