Product Information

Full details

The Lilysilk Short Nightshirt is an ideal choice for adults seeking premium comfort through high-quality mulberry silk sleepwear. Its primary benefit lies in the 22 momme silk's natural thermoregulation and friction-reducing properties, which promote a more restful night's sleep; however, users should note that as a pure silk garment, it requires more delicate handling and specialized laundering compared to synthetic or cotton alternatives.

FAQs

Can I put this nightshirt in the dryer?

No. You should never tumble dry silk as the high heat will cause the fibers to become brittle and shrink significantly. Always air dry.

Is 22 momme better than other silk weights?

Yes, 22 momme is considered a superior weight for sleepwear as it offers the perfect balance of durability, opacity, and luxurious feel compared to lighter weight silks.

Does this shirt have a relaxed fit?

The design is meant to be comfortable for sleeping, so it features a classic, slightly generous silhouette to allow for freedom of movement.

Can I wash this with other clothes?

It is strongly recommended to wash it separately or only with other silk items of similar colors to prevent snagging on zippers, hooks, or buttons.

Is the silk sourced ethically?

Lilysilk emphasizes high-quality standards for their mulberry silk, which is a natural, renewable resource.

Troubleshooting

The fabric feels stiff after washing

This is often caused by soap residue. Ensure you are using a silk-specific detergent and consider a final rinse with a teaspoon of distilled white vinegar in cool water to restore softness.

Wrinkles appearing in the silk

Silk is prone to wrinkling naturally. To smooth them out, use a low-heat steamer or iron the garment inside out on the 'silk' setting while it is still slightly damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Lilysilk Nightshirt, always check the care label before the first wash. Silk is a natural protein fiber and should be treated similarly to wool. It is recommended to use a pH-neutral detergent specifically designed for silk to preserve the integrity and shine of the fibers. Avoid using bleach or enzymes. When washing, use a mesh laundry bag if machine washing on a delicate/silk cycle, though hand-washing in cool water is the gold standard for maintenance. Always air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the silk proteins over time. For storage, keep the garment in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it on sharp-edged hangers that could pull the delicate weave.
