Overall: Great article! Extensive, wide range of sources, good pictures. I've added infoboxes and added it to the dyeing one, and a few other minor changes if you're OK with them like more links. I'm happy to pass it, but maybe hook 1 is a little long and technical-maybe something like "discharge printing creates patterns by removing dye from dyed cloth" might be easier for people to understand? (Not sure removing is the best word, to be fair.) With the picture, it's gorgeous but it's maybe a little hard to see the detail at 100px. Again a suggestion if you were interested, maybe you could use a detail view on Commons (100 px view), I suggest, frankly it's so beautiful having an overview and detail view in the article is worth it so everyone can see it!
