Machine-Washable Luxury Silk (No Dry Cleaning Required)

Most silk garments are dry clean only. Tara Sartoria silk is designed for real life.

We use 27 momme natural mulberry silk, a heavier and more durable grade than the 19 to 22 momme silk commonly used in silk clothing. The higher density creates a richer feel, stronger structure, and long term durability.

Every garment arrives pre washed, is fully machine washable, and includes simple care instructions for frequent wear and easy maintenance.

Crafted in Historic Vietnamese Silk Villages With French Seams

Production takes place in Vietnam’s historic silk villages, where textile expertise has been refined over generations.

Each garment is completed start to finish by a single skilled artisan and finished with couture grade French seams that enclose raw edges for durability, comfort, and longevity. Depending on the design, garments may include tagless interiors, irritation reducing construction, functional closures, and precisely finished hems.

FAQs. Answers to the most common questions about fit, care, gifting, and materials

Is this silk suitable for everyday wear

Yes. Tara Sartoria garments are designed for daily wear, sleep, travel, and lounging. The combination of 27 momme silk, French seams, and machine washable construction is intended for regular use rather than occasional wear.

Is this a good gift

Yes. Our garments are frequently purchased as gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and milestone occasions. Pieces arrive pre washed and ready to wear with simple care instructions, making gifting silk easy and low risk.

What size should I choose if I am between sizes

Because silk does not stretch and garments are cut with a relaxed fit, we generally recommend choosing the smaller size when between sizes.

Can I get help choosing a size for someone else

Yes. Email care@tarasartoria.com with height, weight, and typical clothing size and we will recommend the most appropriate size.

Is the silk really machine washable

Yes. Our garments arrive pre washed and are designed to be washed cold on a delicate cycle using a mesh laundry bag and gentle detergent. Air dry. Light steaming is optional.

Will I need to iron the garment

Usually not. Silk naturally relaxes with body heat and wrinkles often soften while wearing. A light steam is sufficient if needed.

What makes 27 momme silk different

Momme measures silk density. 27 momme silk contains significantly more silk per square inch than the 19 to 22 momme silk commonly used in mass produced garments, resulting in greater durability and longevity.

Why does 27 momme silk cost more than most silk garments

Higher momme silk contains more silk per square inch. This results in a richer feel, stronger structure, and a longer lifespan.

Is this real silk or satin

Tara Sartoria garments are made from 100 percent natural mulberry silk. Satin is a weave often made from polyester and does not provide the breathability or temperature regulation of natural silk.

Do you offer custom sizing

Yes. Custom sizing is available for all styles. Typical adjustments include garment length, sleeve length, width, and split sizing for pajama sets. Custom garments carry a 30 percent surcharge, require a two to three week turnaround, and are final sale.
