Unique Qualities of Gambiered Guangdong Gauze Silk: Also known as "Xiang Yun Sha," this rare and precious silk is celebrated for its unique crafting process. The deep purple colour is achieved through a repeated natural plant-dyeing and sun-drying process, which also gives it a signature lustre and a unique "cracked" texture. Known for its breathability and beautiful drape, all Gambiered Guangdong Gauze Silk has UV protection. It's also more durable than ordinary silks.
This dress features a flattering loose-fit silhouette with a comfortable V-neckline and a contrasting inner collar. The included fabric belt allows you to cinch the waist for a more defined shape or wear it loose for a relaxed look. The unique texture of the fabric makes this a truly one-of-a-kind garment, perfect for the Australian climate.

Silk Fabric Care Instructions
Silk Fabric Care Instructions
1. **Hand Wash Only – Do Not Machine Wash**
Silk is a delicate fabric that requires gentle handling. Machine washing can compromise the integrity of the silk fibers, leading to loss of sheen and potential whitening.
When hand washing, avoid aggressive rubbing or wringing. Instead, gently agitate the fabric by lifting or pressing it in the water.
2. **Use a pH-Neutral Detergent**
Always opt for a detergent specifically formulated for silk. Avoid alkaline detergents or soap, as they can cause the silk to harden, become brittle, or lose its color.
3. **Wash in Cold Water**
Immerse the silk in cold water (room temperature) for no more than 5-10 minutes before washing. Prolonged soaking or exposure to hot water can damage the fabric’s structure and color.
4. **Drying Instructions**
Do not expose silk to direct sunlight or heat sources such as dryers. Instead, dry the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area to preserve its color and prevent fiber degradation.
Following these guidelines will help maintain the luxurious texture, vibrant color, and longevity of your silk garments.
