More robust than mulberry silk, the thicker and shorter thread is more uneven and less fine so has a more durable nature.
Silkworms spin an uneven filament in natural shades of cream, gold, and brown that give tussah a unique structure and feel. These stiffer silks are perfect for more durable applications.
The quality of the silk depends directly on the diet and surroundings of the silkworm, so Tussah is very tough. Tussah silk fabric is resistant to dyes and stains and is very durable. For this silk fabric, care and stain protection instructions are minimal compared to other silk fabrics.
"With such lovely material, this should be the best ever camisole, but as I am finding with Tussah silk garments, the finishing is not very good, with the seams loosening and beginning to trail threads after only one (very careful) wash. If the production could be improved this would be perfect."
This was washed... had to be careful
This was worn by... me
Sizing: Feels true to size
I'd recommend this to a friend.
"well I tried to get it on and it was akin to a strait jacket .However After a whole lot of tuggig and pulling and coaxing I have managed to enlarge it and now Idon't want to take it off . It is so cool while so warm and comfortable - it has now totally given with my body- and we are at one!"
This was washed... not needed washing yet
Sizing: Too small
"tried it on as it was billed as 16 to 18 - very pleasant quiet looking camisole it has a little stretch but has no give -a smaller lady in the family will inherit this fine item-"
I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
