What is Silk? 
Silk is one of the strongest, and most luxurious natural fibres. Its production originated in Neolithic China within the Yangshao culture (4th millennium BC). It involves tremendous textile craft and represents an incredible human heritage.

100% Natural: 
Because we use 100% silk fabric, which is a natural fibre, and sew our garments using 100% silk thread, our garments are 100% natural and compostable. Note that silk is not vegan.
  

How does it feel when I wear it? 
For our womenswear pieces we use an extremely lightweight 100% Silk crepe de chine fabric. We love it for its soft, fluid drape, its cool handle, its crepe textured face and ultimately its wearability. Wearing your garment feels cool, like a breath of fresh air. It’s perfect for the warm summer months and can be layered over in the colder days.

OEKO-TEX Certification - STANDARD 100 label:
This means you can rest assured that our fabric has been tested for harmful substances and that the quality therefore is harmless for human health. The test is conducted by our independent OEKO-TEX® partner institutes. The test takes into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the STANDARD 100 go beyond national and international requirements. 

Where do you source this fabric? 
This fabric is sourced from Elsegood Silk Fabrics in Alexandria and are woven in China, the birthplace of silk.

Our slip dress is designed for an inclusive fit which means that you might fit into a smaller size than what you are accustomed to. 

Refer to our size conversion chart and go with the dress size you wear most often. If in doubt we advise you to go down a size.

Our model Kaitlyn is wearing our size M (14/16). She usually wears a dress size of AU 16. and her bra size is between 16E and 18E. She is 180cm tall and the dress falls below her knee. See size chart for her full measurements.

How we achieve a more inclusive fit:

• The pattern has added room for curvier women (in the bust and the buttocks).
• The adjustable shoulder straps allow you to adjust the fit around the bust if you have a thinner bust
• The bias cut adds natural stretch to the fabric as well as beautiful drape. This cut allows for the dress to flow with your curves.  

Because of this inclusive fit and added stretch from the dress’s construction our Soie Slip Dress Sizes cover 2 Australian Standard Sizes: our S size covers both sizes 10 and sizes 12; our M size covers both sizes 14 and 16; etc.
