T-shirt dresses - the perfect casual look
There are a huge variety of natural fabrics in the world that few people know about. Rather, we can come across them quite often, but not even suspect what they are called and what they consist of. One of these little-known materials is the footer.
Footer is a special kind of weaving of fabric. It is created by interweaving two strands of different fibers, resulting in an unusual, double-sided fabric. One side of the footer is smooth, while the other is soft and slightly textured. Almost nothing is known about where and when this material appeared, but there is an assumption that Ancient Egypt was the birthplace of the prototype of the modern footer.
Our today's article is about footer dresses. We will tell you about the advantages and weaknesses of this material, about the popular styles of footer dresses, as well as how to properly care for footer products.
Pros and cons of footer
Footer is a fabric that has a number of advantages. Due to its high quality characteristics, it is often used for sewing children's and sportswear. Experts note the following advantages of this material:
- it consists mainly of natural fibers (cotton or bamboo);
- keeps warm well;
- footer clothes are durable and resistant to wear and tear;
- has natural antibacterial properties;
- absorbs moisture quickly;
- does not cause allergies;
- suitable for people with sensitive skin;
- keeps well and restores its shape;

The list of footer disadvantages will be much shorter than the list of its advantages. The main disadvantages of this fabric include:
- loss of color due to direct sunlight;
- destruction of fibers under the influence of high temperature.
Models
Footer is a very simple in appearance and quite durable fabric, so it is used, as a rule, for the production of sports or indoor clothing, as well as baby clothes and clothes for pregnant women. However, this does not mean that there are no footer dresses at all: of course, they are found in stores, but they mainly relate to casual or sporty style.
A footed dress is usually a casual outfit - discreet and incredibly comfortable. Designers choose discreet colors for such dresses that do not attract attention. Gray, beige, blue, light brown colors are relevant. The styles are very laconic: medium or short length, straight or slightly fitted silhouette. Often, footer dresses are supplemented with elements of a sporty style: long sleeves, a hood, a drawstring belt, etc.
Care
- The water temperature during washing should not exceed 30 degrees.
- Machine wash allowed.
- Turn the garment inside out before washing.
- Do not wash the dress together with things that have metal parts (hooks, zippers, etc.).
- Do not dry the garment from the footer outdoors, under the sun.
- You need to iron the thing by switching the iron to the "cotton" mode.
