Hey Blissies!!
It's no secret that Denim is in! Let's be real, has it ever not been? Apparently, not...
Denim is a type of cotton twill textile, in which the weft passes under two or more warp threads. Warp threads of denim fabric are dyed in indigo while weft threads remain plain white. That is why denim is blue on the one side and white on the other. When used for jeans, denim is turned blue on the outside and because of the way it is made, it fades in a characteristic way.
The word “denim” comes from fabric "serge de Nimes" made in France city of Nimes from where it originates. It has been used in America since the late 18th century, colored blue with indigo dye to make blue jeans. Jeans come from "Genes" - a name given by French to Genoa and the people from Genoa where the cotton trousers were made.
Denim was first used for clothes worn by workers because of its high durability. Then it became widely popular in the 1930s when Hollywood started making cowboy movies in which actors wore jeans.
