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 Artisan Silk Camisole for Women, Washable Natural Mulberry Silk

beautiful cami!

I love this silk cami! It is so incredibly soft and it fits me perfectly. The silk is high quality and feels great on my skin. Cami is true to sizing and well made...def recommended!

Generously sized. Pretty color

This camisole is very generously cut. You may need to do some tailoring to get the fit right for you. It is also longer than expected. Not a bad thing, just a bit surprising. Lots to tuck in, if you want to tuck it in. Pretty color. Decently made.

I NEED ONE IN EVERY COLOR!

This is seriously such a nice, quality silk tank top! I wear this as often as possible. It's definitely genuine silk, and not flimsy or see-through at all. This is so versatile for my wardrobe - I can dress it up, wear it as a base layer, wear it to the market, or simply to bed. The design and cut is classic, including French seams! The straps are adjustable (and stay where they're adjusted to) and do not get all jumbled up and twisted around like inferior silk tops I've had before. The straps also lay perfectly flat. You can really tell that these are made with love and careful attention. I also really liked how the tank top arrived inside of its own matching drawstring bag! It's the little things like that really add up! To clean this, I usually machine wash it and air dry....and it is still as good as new! Sizes may run a tiny bit larger, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! I'm 5'6", weigh 150lbs. and usually wear a medium or large in these types of tops. I chose a Large, and it seems as if there's just a tiny bit more fabric than Larges in general, but that's totally cool! This left room for me to tailor it specifically to my body (even though it doesn't need it). I love that the silk does not irritate my eczema at all, as well as helps with hot flashes and night sweats due to surgical menopause. This would be a beautiful gift to yourself or anyone that enjoys timeless, versatile, sumptuous garments.

Nice top

I don’t have many comments here as I’m not all that learned about silk. The top came with a personalized note and care instructions, which was nice, but even hanging it in the bathroom while you shower does not get wrinkles out, which was suggested in the instructions. Ironing would definitely be required. Otherwise, it’s comfortable.

So stunning, one of my new favorite pieces that I will never be able to live without

I have been wanting to build up my capsule wardrobe with garments that are of the highest quality, and look expensive. I am happy to say that the silk camisole checks all of these boxes. Not to mention the quality you get with the silk camisoles, I will be purchasing these over and over and over again, as well as gifting them to all of my friends! The weight of the silk is unmatched, it is very clear that this is a high-quality silk and for the price you cannot beat it. Highly recommend!
