Designers do not get tired of experimenting with such a noble material and present new options for choosing. The high popularity of silk is not surprising at all - this material has a huge number of advantages and looks very feminine and elegant, which allows you to turn ordinary home clothes and sleepwear into a real noble outfit worthy of a princess's wardrobe. And what else can a woman dream of when choosing her nightgowns?

Benefits of silk fabric

Silk is one of the types of natural fabrics that do not belong to either animal or vegetable fabrics. This material is obtained from the cocoons of special silkworm caterpillars and processed into a pleasant and lightweight fabric. Of course, silk can also be artificial, it is somewhat inferior to natural, but when using modern technologies, it is produced in the same high quality and convenient for use. Natural material bengaline made of silk has excellent quality characteristics.

Of course, the highest quality silk nightdress is natural, it is worth paying attention to when choosing clothes. In any case, the artificial canvas will last much less, and its advantages can be somewhat reduced, which is associated with the peculiarities of production.

Disadvantages of silk fabric

Unlike silk bedding, which many call uncomfortable, silk nightgowns can be a real lifesaver in the heat of the summer. That is why the ability to cool the skin is called the main advantage of this fabric.

But, despite the huge number of advantages, silk also has certain disadvantages. These include:

1. Danger of eating silk by moths and, as a consequence, the need to use protective processing agents;

2. The danger of silk fading and the appearance of stains due to perspiration on the fabric, as well as the inability to remove them;

3. Destruction of the structure of silk and a decrease in the level of its quality with long exposure to the sun;

4. High demands on the conditions of washing in the machine (low water temperature, special mode, mild detergents, and so on).

It is worth remembering that with improper care and non-compliance with the recommendations, even the highest quality silk will very quickly deteriorate and will cease to please its owner. Although silk is a practical and very comfortable fabric, it requires a lot of care, and it is definitely worth paying attention to.

Types of silk home clothing

Silk nightgowns for women are distinguished by a huge number of types, as well as the possibility of various combinations. First of all, it is worth considering classic silk nightdress, which has a lot of options for combining clothes.

For example, you can choose from silk shorts or pants. Usually, these two types of clothing are found; cropped trousers are not made of silk fabric, since such a length is not particularly practical. 

There are already much more options for the upper part of the nightgowns, here you can name:

• Thin silk tank tops with spaghetti straps;

• Loose T-shirts made of the finest material;

• Classic loose silk shirts with buttons;

• Button-down silk shirts with cropped sleeves.

Silk tank tops are great for summer and pair with both shorts and long silk trousers. The same goes for T-shirts and shirts with cropped sleeves. But classic long-sleeved silk shirts are usually found only in combination with trousers and are much more suitable for a cool spring or autumn. However, many women choose such nightgowns for the winter season - they allow the skin to breathe and give comfort.

In addition, overalls are a separate type of clothing. Silk jumpsuits are usually a molded set of shorts and tank top, slightly more tapered than the standard models.
