How beautiful, durable and valuable silk is has convinced many. We dedicated one of our entries to silk. It has a beneficial effect on the health of the skin, manifests practical and aesthetic values. It can also be woven in many ways, obtaining different structure, degree of gloss and thickness. In our warehouse you can buy any silk for meters, but in the spring and summer some varieties of this fabric will work better than others.

Why silk for spring and holiday dresses?

The same properties that make silk skin-friendly and healthy make it best to wear clothes from it in spring and summer. This is a period when there is more sun and the temperature goes definitely up. Holidays, in turn, encourage walks, movements, outdoor events. This causes us to sweat and need comfortable, airy clothes.

Silk fabric properties – comfortable and airy clothes for summer

Silk very well meets the conditions of clothes for the summer, because:

• allows the skin to breathe – due to the fact that it is thin and natural, it provides adequate air flow,
• preserves body temperature – silk tries to maintain the temperature of the skin, and thus protects against overheating – similarly to some extent protects the skin from the cold in winter,
• has a considerable ability to absorb water – it can absorb much more than cotton, still remaining dry to the touch. In addition, it dries quickly, which is important in the summer, when we sweat or in the spring, when unexpected rain may appear,
• silk is a very durable and stretchy material – it adheres well to the body, which helps to emphasize the qualities of the figure and beauty,
• shows considerable resistance to creasing, which significantly reduces the pressing time. You can quickly prepare for a summer walk or party,
• some silk fabrics are resistant to dirt – especially muslin.

All this makes silk an excellent material for clothes that are put on on spring and summer days. We would like to tell you a little more about several types of silk.

Silk for meters – the best types of silk for summer

Silk, due to its lightness, smoothness and pleasure to the touch, is very associated with the period when everything comes to life, and a youthful spirit reigns around. Which of them do we especially recommend?

Chiffon

It is perfect for evening creations. It has a delicate, subtle shine, and due to the fact that it is pouring, it gives the opportunity to show off the figure. And summer is the time of weddings. Chiffon is associated with luxury and this is also its opinion – it belongs to those more elegant varieties of silk. There is also a variation of it in the form of the addition of synthetic fibers. This material is used to create a more "everyday" wardrobe.
