Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1. I am in between sizes: M and L, should I order size M or L?
We recommend that you do not size up because our clothing is loose-cut, as silk does not stretch. Therefore, if you are in between sizes M and L, we suggest ordering size M.
2. What does it mean that your silk is 27 momme?
Momme is a standard measurement that indicates the weight of silk. The higher the momme, the higher the weight, quality and consequently durability. Our artisan mulberry silk is 27 momme, which is over 40% more silk than the 19 momme silk often used for mass-produced silk garments.
3. Why does your silk not need to be dry cleaned?
Our silk is produced using traditional artisan methods dating back to the 9th century, allowing it to be washed like it has been for thousands of years, without the need for dry cleaning and its harsh chemicals.
4. Is it true I can machine-wash this silk? How?
Yes, our thicker 27 momme artisan handmade silk is durable and machine washable. Place it in a laundry mesh bag to protect it from other items, then wash it on delicate or hand wash cycle using a detergent and softener for delicates. Tara recommends washing silk with shampoo and conditioner to maintain its lustre and softness. Simply add 1 tbsp of shampoo and 1 tbsp conditioner to 1 cup of water, add to your washing machine, and wash on a delicate cycle.
5. I really dislike ironing! Will I end up having to constantly iron these silk garments?
Tara and many of us here at Tara Sartoria share your dislike of ironing, and that's precisely why we love silk! Silk's lightness allows body heat to naturally soften and remove wrinkles over time. So, in reality, all you need is a quick steam, or none at all if it's sleepwear. Additionally, washing silk with shampoo and conditioner can result in fewer wrinkles when drying.
6. What is the deal with French seams?
French seams are a high-end finishing method used in haute couture and luxury garments. It takes about twice as long to make the garment and more fabric because the seams are sewn twice. But, the result is a durable garment with a polished appearance inside and out.
7. Can I wear this daily?
Yes, our customers report that our silk items are sturdy and durable, making them suitable for daily wear without concerns about tearing.

I've been trying to buy less fast fashion and I've been trying to purchase higher quality materials and hope that they would last me longer. I am normally not someone who spent a lot of money on my clothes. This dress was $109 and definitely one of the more expensive dresses I've purchased. The front shiny panel is 100% silk in the back is cotton spandex. I feel like they made the dress to too big to look good. It feels a little dumpy on me. I got the smallest size. I might also go try and get it hemmed smaller. The craftsmanship looked really good throughout and this is one of those brands that has a social goal as well, the text tell you about how they pay individual artisans a livable wage to support communities. I actually really like this, and I feel like I would be willing to pay a bit more money to support these causes. I don't know if I would have paid $110, but I think maybe I just don't appreciate the silk part as much as I should because silk is very expensive.
I love getting items from Tara Sartoria-the quality and presentation is always just so nice. I appreciate the attention to detail with stitching, texture combinations, and the thank you card plus extras (storage bag, care instructions, hair tie, etc). I think this color and the pattern design is just so pretty and flattering for many skin tones. It's light, comfortable, and makes getting dressed up or taking this on the go for trips super easy. My pictures are from after washing it in cold water in a mesh laundry bag on the gentle cycle. It's still drying per the pics but it held up great and no issues with the material. I definitely recommend this dress and the company it's made by.
This is a very pretty dress. It is extremely lightweight, very well made, and extraordinarily comfortable. I ordered my usual size, small, and it fit correctly. The item arrives packaged beautifully, in coordinating silk pouch with a little gift of a rose-colored silk hair scrunchy attached. They also include literature highlighting the care with which the item is made, the quality of the mulberry silk, and their philanthropic work for disadvantaged women. The dress is a simple wrap style, half silk and half cotton with a little spandex for stretch. It is very pretty, if not stylish; a timeless day dress style ideal for those who aren't adventurous in their style. I really wish it had pockets, then it would be perfect!!
At first, I thought, this wasn't going to work when I first pulled it out of the package but once I actually tried it on omg!!! This is really elegant and classy. I love the way this dress wraps around and falls. Very smooth and sleek material. Looks absolutely gorgeous on me and I like that for me!
This is a silk and cotton dress in pink. It's a a well made dress with French seams as advertised, half of it is silk and the other half is cotton. Unfortunately I don't think it looked as good in person as it did on the screen...the cotton and silk don't really go together very well IMO :( Sorry. But it is well made so if you DO think you'll like it, rest assured it is high quality and worth the money.
