FAQs
Can I machine wash these shorts?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash to preserve the delicate silk fibers. Machine washing may cause damage unless using a specialized 'silk' or 'hand-wash' cycle with a mesh garment bag.
Are these shorts transparent?
The high-quality silk blend used by LILYSILK is designed to be opaque, but it is always best to wear skin-tone undergarments for the most seamless look.
Does the waistband stretch out over time?
The hidden elastic is durable, but avoid over-stretching the garment when putting it on to maintain the integrity of the waistband.
Can I wear these for formal events?
Yes, their sophisticated structure allows them to be dressed up with heels and a tailored blouse for a smart-casual or semi-formal summer event.
How should I store these if I am traveling?
Fold them gently and place them inside a silk or cotton garment bag to prevent friction against other items in your luggage.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn wrinkles after washing
Use a garment steamer on the lowest setting; avoid pressing an iron directly onto the dry silk to prevent scorching.
Fabric feels stiff after air drying
Gently shake or brush the fabric to restore the silk fibers' natural softness, or steam lightly to relax the fibers.
Minor snagging on the material
Avoid contact with rough surfaces and sharp jewelry; use a soft silk-care detergent to keep fibers smooth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your LILYSILK shorts maintain their quality over time, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Hand washing in cool water with a silk-specific detergent is highly recommended. Avoid harsh chemical detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Never wring out the fabric. Gently roll the shorts in a clean towel to remove excess water, then lay them flat to air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low, cool setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles safely.
- Storage: Hang the shorts on smooth, padded hangers to prevent creases at the waistband or hip area.
- Compatibility: These shorts run in standard UK dress sizing; ensure you verify your measurement against the UK 12 sizing standards before purchase.
