The only reason you're asking this question is because your chemistry instructor has posed it to you. Think about what happened in lab: You synthesized the indigo, but it wouldn't dissolve in water to dye your cloth sample. So, you reduced it with sodium dithionite, whereupon it turned to a yellowish-green color. Then, you dyed your fabric, and let it dry. What happened when it dried? What makes your blue jeans blue?

Sodium dithionite can cause discoloration or even damage to blue jeans due to its reducing properties. It may bleach or lighten the color of the fabric. It's recommended to avoid getting sodium dithionite on clothing unless it's intended for a specific purpose like dye removal.
