I bought a silk blouse last week and I decided to wash it first before I wear it.

However, I know nothing about caring for silk clothings. Coming from a fashion graduate, I ought to know but I don’t - Silk is just not my fabric, I very much preferred to deal with knits.

However, silk has taught me 5 things:

1) Best worn without perfumery 2) Always handwash yourself. Gently, with mild soap. 3) Always iron yourself. Low heat with steam/slightly damp, on reverse side. 4) Do not tug at the fabric while ironing/wet. It will be hard to reverse the shape back. 5) Skip step 1-4, send it to a dry cleaner if you’re rich.

Thank god it still looks wearable after experimenting.

Next up on my list: WOOL!
