Can you put silk in the washing machine?

Yes, for 27 momme artisan mulberry silk. Use a delicate cycle, cool or warm water (maximum 30°C), and pH-neutral detergent. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Lighter silk weights (under 22 momme) are more vulnerable to machine washing and may require hand washing.

What is momme weight in silk?

Momme is the traditional Japanese unit of silk fabric weight. One momme equals 4.34 grams per square metre. Higher momme means denser, heavier fabric with greater durability. The standard luxury range is 19 to 22 momme. Premium artisan silk sleepwear uses 25 to 30 momme. Tara Sartoria uses 27 momme throughout.

What makes 27 momme silk different from standard silk?

27 momme silk is 20 to 40% denser than the 19 to 22 momme standard used by most luxury brands. That density means the fabric holds its structure, resists clinging, and survives regular machine washing without degrading. Tara Sartoria silk is of Grade 6A equivalent quality, woven on traditional looms in Vietnam's historic silk villages.

What are French seams and why do they matter?

A French seam is a two-stage construction that completely encloses the raw fabric edge within the seam structure. Both stitch lines bear structural load, making French seams significantly more resistant to lateral stress than single-stitched seams. French seam construction takes two to three times longer per garment. Tara Sartoria uses French seams throughout every garment.

What detergent should I use for silk?

Use a pH-neutral, silk-safe detergent such as Woolite or The Laundress Delicate Wash. Avoid standard laundry detergents (alkaline, pH 9 to 11) and biological detergents (enzyme-based). Both cause protein fiber degradation over repeated wash cycles.

What sizes does Tara Sartoria offer?

Tara Sartoria makes sizes XS to 4XL. Every size receives the same 27 momme artisan mulberry silk and the same French seam construction. Luxury that does not fit is not luxury.

Luxury Silk Blouse for Women, Band Collar

Amazing shirt, my new favorite

I can’t say enough nice things about this shirt! First of all, the presentation. It comes in a wonderful little silk bag with information on the company and a silk scrunchie for your hair. Secondly, the material. The silk is heavenly. So soft and silky, it feels amazing on. Most comfortable button down shirt I have ever owned! I am excited to always wear this to my business meetings. Thirdly, the look. It looks wonderful. I got a medium and it fits very loose, but in a sleek way. (I usually wear a medium.) The buttons are super high quality, but thin material so it does not puff out. There is not the standard fold down collar, but instead a trimmed neck, which I actually prefer. The back is a little longer than the front which looks very slimming, and it looks great untucked. It does have creases from being folded, so it needs to be steamed. I wore it out of bag with the creases and it still looks great. This shirt is definitely worth the price tag, if you want to invest in a wonderful and comfortable professional shirt. I absolutely love it.

Pretty cute

Cute overall, I thought it will be a little more silky, it was thicker then expected but still looks really nice and comfy to the skin. Basic nice button down

Oversized for my wife

This came in a little bit big for my wife. She likes the color but it doesn't seem like it's going to work for her.

Beautiful

I love the way it was presented in it's own silk drawstring bag. The blouse is very well made and feels amazing on the skin. Looks better on and is a definite eye catcher.

Lovely Feeling and Looking Top

The Tara Sartoria Silk Shirt for women is quite lovely. It shipped with minimal packaging. It was presented well and it didn't put off any weird or chemical-like odors. I'm five foot two and a half inches tall, 130 lbs, and sport a curvy pear-shaped figure. I typically wear small/medium in tops and this fits me a bit wide and long. That said, I will still wear it tucked in, tied, and as an outer layer with another top beneath it. The material is amazingly smooth and soft. I love how it feels against my skin. It is not seethrough at all. I have had zero irritation from wearing it at all. The craftsmanship is excellent. There are no loose strings or off-seams, and the buttons are attached well. I like this needs no real special care for washing or drying at home. This is a lovely dress top that I can recommend but would suggest sizing it down once if you can.

Fits Perfectly

I LOVE this shirt. It fit like it was made for me, and the fabric is phenomenal. When they say "handmade silk," they mean it, and now I wish I had at least five or six more colors of this same shirt, and will totally be looking out for more later. Fantastic!

Nice Silk Blouse

Shirt comes in a silk bag that you can keep it in. It's soft, light and made well. The top has buttons up the front and is easy to throw on. It's 100 percent real silk and looks like it can be taken care of easy. Pairs nicely with any bottom and feels good on. I'd recommend your regular size if you want something more fitted and a size up if you want a little extra room.
