The silk underwear is a lightweight and comfortable layering piece that provides warmth without bulk. Customers praise the soft, smooth, and non-binding feel of the silk, which allows for a sleek, streamlined look under other garments. Many use the underwear for activities like camping, travel, and everyday wear in cold weather. While some found the silk too thin or experienced issues with snags, the majority of customers are very satisfied with the product's warmth, comfort, and versatility.
It's nice but since it's a silk pointelle it defeats the purpose of you are buying to have something to help irritated skin. The texture makes it less smooth.

Just what I was looking for
Fit: True to size
This silk base layer is great. Very very soft . Fits well with long enough tail to tuck in . It is just what I was looking for . Hand washing should help it to last a long time.

Silk Scoopneck Long Sleeve Top Women's Regular
Fit: True to size
The ability to wash on handwash cycle in machine is not available. Must use tradition handwash or the top will get runs in the fabric.

Not as expected - transparent mesh-like fabric, unpleasant texture. I wear a lot of silk, inner layers and out, and this feels rough and too thin to be useful.

Highly recommended.
Fit: True to size
This silk top is very soft and feels good on your body. It is very thin so if you live in a cold environment, I'd buy something for the colder days.
