Silk Lingerie
Choosing silk lingerie
Pure silk designed to feel as good as it looks, under everything or on its own.
Lingerie is where fibre quality is felt most directly, because there is nothing between the fabric and the skin. Long-fibre mulberry silk is smoother than wild varieties and stays smooth — short, irregular fibres are what pill and catch, and they do it fastest where a garment moves against the body all day.
Fit notes are given per piece rather than as a rule, since a slip and a brief are cut to different logics. Where a style runs small or relaxed, its product page says so plainly.
Silk takes dye evenly, which is why the colours read as depth rather than as surface. That same quality is why direct sun is the enemy: it fades silk faster than washing does.
Silk is a protein fibre, so heat, bleach and direct sun age it far faster than wearing it does. Cool hand washing and shade drying are most of the job.
