Madder Charmeuse Silk Slip- PREORDER

Madder root is one of earth's oldest natural dyes, creating the most beautiful red tones. The earliest evidence of the use of madder dye dates back to 3000 BC in the Indus Valley Civilization. Madder was also used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

The details and care: The 100% silk known as Charmeuse Silk, from the French word for female charmer, is a lightweight fabric woven with a satin weave, in which the warp threads cross over four or more of the backing threads. These float threads give the front of the fabric a smooth, shiny finish, whereas the back has a dull finish. I personally washed + pretreated each one carefully to make sure it is colorfast in cold water. I suggest hand washing or gentle cycle with cold water and with a pH neutral soap for the longevity of the color and silk. It can also be steamed or ironed on the lowest setting, or a silk setting if your iron has that option, inside out is best.
