I handwash and hang dry silk, and haven't had problems. Regular silk only, I wouldn't try it with dupioni! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2267372 Wed, 15 Jun 2022 05:47:42 +0000 Anonymous 2267372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had lots of washable silk in the 80’s and some now from EF. Be sure to get the whole thing really wet when washing as it may water spot.<br /> I wash mine in the machine in a lingerie bag and hang to dry. Does fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2267348 Tue, 14 Jun 2022 21:35:32 +0000 Zaeobi 2267348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for reviewing Quince. As someone who prefers the breathability of natural fibres, I'm always curious about these companies touting machine washable 'silk' these days - sometimes it actually is silk, other times it's fabric made to mimic it. Either way, sometimes it's hard to know. </p> <p>Anyways, they're on my radar to try once/ if they ever leap across the pond to the UK </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2266949 Sat, 11 Jun 2022 16:13:40 +0000 Suz 2266949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for these reviews, Laurie! I have one washable stretch silk shirt that I adore from Ann Taylor (years ago). I will never get rid of it -- it's a joy to wear. I only wear it in winter, however, as it is quite warm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2266589 Wed, 08 Jun 2022 16:11:04 +0000 Roberta 2266589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good to hear!

It feels like an elevated cotton woven, in that it isn’t slippery. &nbsp;So far no luck. &nbsp;Like merwoman and Style Fan, I’m in Canada. :-(&nbsp;</p> <p>LOL! &nbsp;It’s a cold rainy day in most of Ontario, so we all might be doing some fashion/vicarious retail therapy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2266469 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 21:44:33 +0000 Style Fan 2266469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard great things about Quince.&nbsp; Unfortunately, as merwoman notes, no shipping outside the US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2266464 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 21:28:21 +0000 merwoman 2266464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look amazing! I’m particularly impressed with the silk tank. Sadly no shipping outside the US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quince-washable-stretch-silk--like-it#post-2266462 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 21:16:03 +0000 Laurie 2266462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a few items from Quince for the first time recently. I think one of our featured bloggers had a link to something she was wearing from Quince that led me there maybe? I did a search here, and there had been a few bits of conversation about Quince's washable silk, but no opinions yet.</p> <p>Can't collect, but here is the link to the washable stretch silk tank I got, and like:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.onequince.com/women/silk/silk-tank?color=ivory&amp;tracker=collection_washable+silk__desktop__4_2">https://www.onequince.com/wome.....+silk__des</a></p> <p>I don't have any other silk items, so am not great person for comparison to other brands, but I really enjoyed wearing this with one of my Ripskirts this weekend. It's not cropped but is fairly short which was great for an easy tuck (or not) in the skirt. I'd hosted dinner for friends, and as I was cleaning up got some guac on the tank. It laundered beautifully on a delicate cycle, and was easy to iron.&nbsp;</p> <p>Price is great. Getting a couple more. I also got a cotton&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.onequince.com/women/100-organic-fisherman-crew-sweater?color=navy&amp;tracker=collection_sweaters__desktop__4_4&amp;gender=women">fisherman sweater</a> and a pair of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.onequince.com/women/ultra-stretch-ponte-straight-leg-pant-28-inseam?color=charcoal&amp;tracker=collection_shorts+%26+pants__desktop__4_1&amp;gender=women">ponte straight leg pants in petite</a>. There was a quality issue with the pants, and customer service (chat online) was super efficient and I had a replacement in the mail just a few days later. Initial shipping was pretty slow, though.</p> <p>Reminds me a lot of Everlane in style. Prices are better. They thanked me personally for my review of the top. </p> <p></p> <p>Update: Back to add that I wore the tank again yesterday, with the ponte pants, for a business meeting &amp; lunch. I drove 288 miles round trip. Needless to say, the silk tank did get quite creased during the day. I think I'll stick to wearing it when not driving forever! The ponte pants are very nice - they stretched just enough to not be super form fitting on my behind, but did not get baggy. The fabric is slightly heavy for this time of year, though perfect in the air conditioning. Smooth feel.</p>
