There is a particular pleasure in slipping into silk at the beginning and end of the day. Gingerlily’s luxury silk dressing gowns are designed around that ritual: beautifully cut, considered in every detail and made to be lived in rather than saved for best.

Each mulberry silk robe is cut from 100% long-strand, 6A-grade silk, giving it a smooth handle and graceful fall over bare skin or nightwear. Contrast piping traces the lapels, cuffs and edges, while external pockets, a silk waist tie and an internal fastening complete the shape. The collection moves from quietly confident plains to hand-painted botanical and seashell designs created with Memo Press.

Complete the ritual with a coordinating silk eye mask or silk hair accessories in complementary colours and prints.

The Ease of a 19 Momme Silk Robe

At 19 momme, Gingerlily’s silk robes have a beautifully balanced weight – light and supple, yet substantial enough to hold their shape. The result is relaxed, but always refined.

That balance is felt in comfort as much as appearance. Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, a mulberry silk dressing gown helps the body remain comfortable as the air warms or cools. Its smooth surface creates less friction against skin and hair, helping to minimise temporary creasing and wrinkles while reducing pulling and friction on the hair. As silk absorbs less moisture than cotton, it also helps skin and hair retain more of their natural hydration.

For gifting, selected Gingerlily dressing gowns can be monogrammed, with discreet initials embroidered on the pocket or cuff. This personal detail makes a silk robe especially thoughtful for birthdays and anniversaries, or equally fitting as something chosen for yourself.

The same considered approach extends beyond the gown. Carry its colour or print into the bedroom with Gingerlily’s silk pillowcases and silk bed linen, or discover silk kaftans within the wider silk nightwear collection.

FAQs

FAQs About Silk Dressing Gowns

Can silk dressing gowns be worn in warmer weather?

Yes. A pure mulberry silk dressing gown is well suited to warmer weather because silk is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. Its fibres allow air and moisture vapour to circulate, helping excess warmth escape rather than becoming trapped against the skin.

This makes a silk robe comfortable over bare skin or light nightwear during warmer months, while silk’s natural insulation continues to provide comfort as temperatures fall.

How should I store my silk dressing gown?

Store your silk dressing gown on a padded hanger to support its shape and help prevent creasing. Keep it in a cool, dry wardrobe away from direct sunlight, which may affect the colour over time.

For longer-term storage, place the gown in a breathable garment bag. This will protect the mulberry silk from dust while allowing air to circulate.

Will a silk dressing gown fit over nightwear or casual loungewear?

Yes. Gingerlily silk dressing gowns are shaped to create an elegant silhouette while allowing comfortable movement and room for layering over pyjamas or lightweight loungewear. The internal fastening and silk waist tie allow the fit to be adjusted and help keep the gown neatly in place.

Gingerlily silk dressing gowns are available in sizes XS (UK 6), S (UK 8–10), M (UK 12–14) and L (UK 16–18), although availability varies by design. Consult the size guide to find your preferred fit.

How should I care for a silk dressing gown?

Always follow the care label supplied with your silk dressing gown. Most Gingerlily silk robes can be machine washed on a delicate cycle at no more than 30°C using a small amount of specialist liquid silk wash.

Allow the gown to air dry away from direct sunlight, never tumble dry and use a cool iron if needed. Read Gingerlily’s complete guide to caring for silk for further advice.

Can a Gingerlily silk dressing gown be monogrammed?

Yes. Gingerlily luxury silk dressing gowns can be personalised with two hand-embroidered initials on the pocket or cuff, with a choice of lettering styles and thread colours. This bespoke detail makes a monogrammed silk dressing gown a particularly thoughtful luxury gift.

Monogrammed pieces take approximately two to three weeks to complete and, as they are made especially for you, cannot be returned. Discover Gingerlily’s monogramming service.
