i run my own fashion line and am interested in creating denim. i work with 2 companies, a sewing company and a processing company.

if my first company mud/dirty washes my denim (to achieve the stained fraying) without making any cuts in the fabric, will the fraying still be stained even before making the cuts? or will i need to have the garment distressed THEN dyed?

i hope this made sense, any advice will help a lot i would really appreciate it!
