As another year comes to an end, of all the events to celebrate, the countdown is now on to Christmas Day.
Surrounding the big day are all sorts of plans including, of course, gift giving, Christmas tree decorating, advent calendars, family reunions, holidays either at home or away, parties, booking in for lunch or arranging a table at home, and most of all, what to wear!
For this ‘Most wonderful time of the year’, why not consider dressing in a very special fabric that is perfect as the weather gets warmer.
It is also the most feminine, floaty, sensuous, light and luxurious natural fibre that there is.
Of course I’m talking about pure silk – made from the cocoons of the domesticated silk moth – a process that is just astonishing to me.
Suffice to say, we have such a vast range of garments in store, from tiny little sleeveless singlet tops through skirts, midi and maxi dresses. And although this filmy soft fabric appears very delicate, it is surprisingly hard wearing and easy to hand wash. Just add a few drops of Softly to cool water, swish around, then rinse in cold water, absorb excess water with a towel and hang the garment to dry. Simples!
Enjoy this holiday time with friends and family, rejoice in the reason for the season and have a very Merry Christmas.
