Full details

FAQs

Can I machine wash this silk t-shirt?

While hand-washing is recommended, if your machine has a dedicated delicate or silk cycle, you may use it inside a protective mesh laundry bag with a mild silk-safe detergent.

Is the fabric see-through?

The black colorway is typically opaque, but as with all natural silks, the weight can vary slightly. It is generally suitable for everyday wear without needing an additional camisole.

How should I store this shirt to avoid wrinkles?

Store it hanging on a smooth, padded hanger to prevent shoulder bumps, or fold it carefully in a drawer lined with acid-free tissue paper.

Does the oversized fit mean I should size down?

The oversized fit is intentional. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may consider sizing down, but for the intended relaxed drape, select your standard size.

Will the color fade over time?

Silk is a natural fiber and should be kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight to maintain its color richness and fiber strength.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles after storage

Lightly mist the fabric with water and hang in a humid environment, like a bathroom after a shower, or use a low-heat steamer.

Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a silk-specific detergent; buildup from regular detergents can affect the natural fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, breathable silk material
  • Sophisticated and timeless aesthetic
  • Relaxed fit provides excellent comfort
  • Naturally moisture-wicking and skin-friendly

  • Requires delicate cleaning methods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity and luster of your Lilysilk t-shirt, proper care is essential. It is highly recommended to hand-wash the garment in cold water using a pH-neutral silk-specific detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners. After washing, lay the shirt flat to dry on a clean towel away from direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric to fade or lose its integrity. If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and press while the fabric is slightly damp to remove wrinkles safely.
