They are especially nice when you get to the age where overheating and night sweats become an issue as they wick moisture. </p> <p>I wash and dry them in the machine on normal and they've held up very well. I would wash a top in the machine but dry it laying flat, so it doesn't wear out or fade faster.</p> <p>It is the softest stuff ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-735168 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 13:59:50 +0000 anne 735168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it Elisabeth. I have a striped modal top too, and love the feel of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734874 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 22:28:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 734874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd put it in a lingerie bag as modal/viscose can pill if it rubs against rough fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734836 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 21:52:51 +0000 Aziraphale 734836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys! I've just washed it on delicate, and it looks no worse for wear. I've laid it flat to dry. The fabric seems so soft and delicate, I just wanted to check with everyone for tips before tossing it in the machine. I never hand wash unless absolutely necessary. I'd rather clean toilets than hand wash clothes. :-)</p> <p>Scarlet, glad to hear about the length (but not width) shrinkage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734669 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:04:25 +0000 Scarlet 734669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. Modal is a kind of rayon. I use the delicate cycle but of the two shirts I have, I have lost length on it after washing. Width seems to be okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734650 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:37:02 +0000 deb 734650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I found about Modal...Modal is a type of rayon[1], a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose, in this case often from beech trees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734560 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 15:57:26 +0000 JR 734560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modal is another wood fibre, and very, very soft and comfortable. It does tend to crease like rayon, which is the main concern with machine washing and drying, I find. You won't damage it as such, but it might be less work to hand wash and dry flat than to try to iron out the wrinkles. It does depend on the thickness of the fabric though, so it varies. And prints are more forgiving in hiding the wrinkles. YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734554 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 15:50:41 +0000 Mo 734554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, welcome to the soft world of modal! I wash it on cold with my regular clothes. It is surprisingly sturdy - much more so than regular rayon. I live in modal pj's and undies and whenever I can score a non loungewear top in modal, I'm all kinds of excited! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734548 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 15:46:54 +0000 Mirp 734548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks lovely. </p> <p>I have a delicates cycle on my washing machine and that is what I would use. Probably lay flat to dry so it doesn't stretch out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-favourite-top#post-734542 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 15:36:01 +0000 Aziraphale 734542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this last week in ink blue and red, and I've worn it three times already. I can't seem to take it off! It turns out that navy and red stripes go with just about everything. It's a little longer on me (Diana, the model, is about six feet tall), the neckline is flattering, it hugs my body just so and it just might be the softest, comfiest thing ever. The tag says the fabric is "modal". What is that? Any tips on how to wash it? It says hand wash, but at Smoking Lily they always put that on the tag, and most of the time their stuff can be machine washed.</p> <p><a href="http://www.smokinglily.com/product/basque-top/" rel="nofollow">http://www.smokinglily.com/product/basque-top/</a> </p>
