Pantalon plissé cropped en soie lavable

I was skeptical about washing silk at home, but this fabric came out of the machine looking perfect, no wrinkles or shrinkage. The cropped wide-leg cut hits at just the right spot and the pleats hold their shape beautifully, making it feel much more expensive than it is.

The fabric feels cool and light against my skin, even on sticky days, and the cropped wide-leg cut keeps me from feeling weighed down. I washed it in the machine on delicate and it came out looking just as crisp as before, which is a huge win for silk.

These pleats hold their shape beautifully even after a wash cycle, and the cropped wide-leg cut floats just right in warm weather. I’ve worn them three times already and they still look crisp without any ironing fuss.
