FAQs
What is the material composition of the Derris Silk Organza Shirt?
The shirt is made from a blend of 70% cotton and 30% silk.
How should I wash this shirt?
It is recommended to hand wash the shirt in cold water with a mild detergent for delicates or silk. Avoid machine washing or harsh agitation.
Can I wear this shirt without an underlayer?
The shirt is made of sheer organza, so an underlayer such as a camisole or bralette is typically recommended for modesty, depending on the desired look and occasion.
What occasions is this shirt suitable for?
Its versatile design makes it suitable for a range of occasions, from smart-casual daywear when layered over a tank top, to elegant evening wear when paired with sophisticated bottoms.
How do I care for the adjustable cuffs?
The cuffs are adjusted by buttons. Ensure the buttons are securely fastened for a snug fit or loosened for a more relaxed look. Care for the fabric of the cuffs following the general garment care instructions.
What size should I choose?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for By Malene Birger. Given the sheer and draping nature of the fabric, consider if you prefer a more fitted or relaxed silhouette when choosing your size.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent formulated for silk or delicates. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners that can affect the silk fibers. Air dry completely and iron on a cool setting.
Shirt has developed creases.
Gently steam the garment on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth while the fabric is slightly damp. Hang it immediately after ironing.
Minor pulls or snags in the organza.
For very minor snags, attempt to gently pull the fabric back into place with a fine-tipped tweezers. For more significant damage, professional repair may be necessary. Avoid sharp jewelry or rough surfaces.

- Ironing: Use a cool iron setting and iron while the fabric is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the silk.
