        abstract = {Creating a cool-feeling, skin-protecting summer garment using mud colour is the major objective of this project. The study's objective is to determine cotton fabric's ability to absorb colour after dyeing by using natural materials like vinegar and alum. The process generates a saleable, environmentally beneficial product that is fully sustainable. The kind of mud used here is a little different from others. Terra rossa is a reddish clayey to silty soil that is common in the Mediterranean region. The name comes from the Italian word for "red soil". The reddish color of terra rossa is due to the presence of iron oxides. Synthetic dyes are derived from petrochemicals and have the potential to be hazardous to human health and the environment. Mud-dyeing is an incredible process. The rocks' iron oxide is what gives the soil its red colour. The fertility of red soil is derived from its high quantities of organic matter and nutrients },
