How should I determine my size?

Refer to standard UK women's dress sizing. The product is available in UK sizes 10 through 20.

Can I machine wash this silk dressing gown?

Machine washing is not recommended. It is best to hand wash in cold water or opt for professional dry cleaning to preserve the silk's quality.

Does the dressing gown come with a belt?

Yes, it features a wrap front that adjusts at the waist, typically secured with an integrated or separate tie belt, allowing for a customizable fit.

Is this dressing gown suitable for all seasons?

Due to its lightweight silk material, it is ideal for warmer weather or as a light layer. For colder climates, you might consider layering it over warmer sleepwear.

How long are the sleeves?

What does 'fluid drape' mean in the product description?

'Fluid drape' refers to how the fabric hangs and moves smoothly and gracefully with the body, contributing to an elegant and comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Silk appears dull or loses its sheen

This can happen with improper washing or drying. Ensure you are using a silk-specific detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals or high heat. For significant dullness, professional dry cleaning may help restore some luster.

Dressing gown has wrinkles or creases

Gently iron on a low heat setting while the garment is slightly damp, or use a steamer. Avoid direct high heat. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom can also help relax minor wrinkles.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners on silk as they can damage the fibers and cause stiffness. Ensure all detergent residue is thoroughly rinsed out. If stiffness persists, a professional dry clean might be beneficial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment; no assembly or setup is required. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: Designed as women's apparel. Available in various UK sizes.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of silk, hand wash is recommended in cold water using a mild detergent specifically for silk or delicates. Alternatively, dry cleaning is a safe option.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and lay flat on a clean towel to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Ironing: Iron on the lowest heat setting (silk or delicate mode) while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Avoid spraying water directly onto the silk.
  • Storage: Hang on a padded or silk-friendly hanger to maintain the garment's shape and prevent creasing. Store in a cool, dry place.
