Silk

Before you do anything, locate and read the fabric care label. If the care label says “hand wash,” use a neutral soap in a sink of water, following the temperature recommendation on the label. Rinse the garment well, and “gently press excess water out in a towel. Don’t wring or twist. Smooth and straighten seams and air dry fabric out of direct sunlight until slightly damp,” according to the care experts at clothing and accessories retailer Ann Taylor.

 

If ironing is necessary, the retailer recommends steam pressing the “wrong side” once the garment reaches slight dampness.
