Washable Stretch Silk Shell Tank

Love silk but canu2019t be bothered with trips to the dry-cleaner? Us too. Weu2019ve searched the worldu2019s leading factories to source the highest quality silk that can be thrown in the washing machine with all your other laundry. The best part? It comes out looking just as good as when it went in - smooth, soft and beautifully draped.

Traditional silk really doesnu2019t like water. Water weakens the fibres and results in stains and discoloration. That means never washing your favorite silk blouses by hand, instead always dry cleaning them. Which, letu2019s face it, is completely impractical. Thatu2019s why weu2019ve created a line of washable silk camisoles, dresses, blouses and more that deliver on smooth texture, incredible softness, and premium draping. But, best of all, they can be worn as much as you like and washed with all your other laundry.

If youu2019re looking to avoid trips to the dry cleaner with your favorite silk skirt or blouse, itu2019s possible to wash silk by hand, but only if the silk quality is very high. Lower quality silks will be adversely affected by the water, resulting in stains and discoloration. If your silk feels full and doesnu2019t crease in your hand then the quality is higher. Or if your silk is u201cwashableu201d then it can be cleaned any way you prefer. Regardless, just know that our silk shirts, dresses and tops can be cared for easily.

Some traditional silk is pre-washed to avoid shrinkage. If not, then yes silk can shrink when it gets wet. Our collection of washable silk pajamas and clothing is made to be washed and dried without ever shrinking.
