Common questions

Wait, you can actually wash silk?
Yes — this is washable silk, designed for gentle hand washing. Cold water, mild detergent, hang dry.

Will it wrinkle?
Less than traditional silk, thanks to the built-in stretch. Steam or low-iron if you want it crisp.

Is it see-through?
No — not with the right bra underneath. Pro tip: under the Ivory, a red bra fades beautifully against your skin's natural red undertones, better than nude or beige.

Can I wear this to a boardroom or to court?
Yes. The structured collar, hidden placket, and button cuff read formal in any professional setting.
