This is a custom-fitted silk slip dress crafted from 100% mulberry silk, featuring a key design detail: an adjustable waist tie.
Custom Fitted Service
The "Custom Fitted" service provides a tailored alternative to standard sizing. You can opt to submit key measurements (bust, waist, hips, and desired length). Based on this data, we adjust the pattern and cut a single garment to match your proportions more closely than a ready-to-wear size, resulting in an improved silhouette and personalized comfort.
Primary Material: 100% Mulberry Silk
The dress is constructed from 100% long-filament mulberry silk. This natural fiber is recognized for its breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and soft hand feel, making it suitable for extended wear against the skin.
Key Functional Feature: Adjustable Waist Tie
A central design feature is the integrated adjustable waist tie. This functional detail allows you to customize the fit and definition at the waist. You can cinch it for a more contoured silhouette or loosen it for a relaxed drape, offering versatility and personalized comfort in a single garment.
Use & Care
The dress is designed for sleep, lounge, or as a layering piece. To preserve the fabric, we recommend hand washing in cool water with a pH-neutral detergent and laying the garment flat to dry.

Q1: How does the "Custom Fitted" process work for this slip dress?
A1: The process involves you providing a set of key measurements: bust, waist, hips, and desired dress length. Using this data, we create an adjusted pattern tailored to your proportions. This results in a garment that follows your contours more accurately than a standard size, focusing on achieving a precise yet comfortable fit through the bodice and hips.
Q2: What are the functional benefits of the adjustable waist tie?
A2: The integrated waist tie offers two primary benefits: fit customization and silhouette control. It allows you to subtly define the waistline for a more shaped look or loosen it for a completely relaxed, straight drape. This feature accommodates minor daily fluctuations and personal comfort preferences.
Q3: Why is 100% mulberry silk specifically suitable for a fitted slip dress?
A3: Long-filament mulberry silk is ideal for fitted garments due to its combination of strength, smoothness, and natural elasticity. It drapes closely to the body without clinging uncomfortably, resists wrinkling at stress points better than short-fiber silk, and its moisture-wicking property ensures comfort during extended wear.
Q4: Is the dress fully lined, and how are the seams finished?
A4: As a classic slip dress, it is typically unlined to maintain the lightweight, breathable quality of the silk. All interior seams are finished with French seams or a similar clean-finish technique. This eliminates raw edges for a smooth feel against the skin and increases the garment's durability.
Q5: How does the adjustable waist tie affect care instructions?
A5: The tie is a fixed part of the design. Standard care instructions apply: hand wash the entire garment gently in cool water. When laying flat to dry, ensure the tie is smoothed out to dry in its natural shape. Avoid twisting or knotting the tie while wet.
