A silk dress, as the name suggests, is a dress made of silk fabric. The texture of a silk dress is soft and smooth, with a soft and lightweight feel, rich and colorful patterns, and it is cool and comfortable to wear. It is the favorite dress for summer women.
Silk dresses are made of real silk fabric, which generally refers to silk, including mulberry silk, tussah silk, castor silk, cassava silk, etc.
There are several types of silk fabrics, including double crepe, heavy crepe, Qiao Qi rotten flower, Qiao Qi, double Qiao, heavy Qiao, Sangbo satin, plain crepe satin, elastic plain crepe satin, and warp knitted fabrics. Excellent brands rely on high-tech production processes in fabric dyeing and finishing, using environmentally friendly dyes with a color fastness of 3-4. 5 levels. While allowing people to appreciate the unique color beauty of silk fabrics, it also maintains their nutritional and natural properties. During the post-processing of the fabric, different degrees of pre shrinkage treatment are also carried out to ensure that the shrinkage rate of the used fabric is between 0.5-3%.
The real silk fabric is a pure mulberry white woven silk fabric, woven with a twill weave. According to the weight of the fabric per square meter, it is divided into thin and medium types. According to different post-processing methods, it can be divided into two types: dyeing and printing. Mainly used as fabric for summer shirts, pajamas, dresses, headscarves, and so on.
Silk dresses also have certain health benefits.
Firstly, comfort. Real silk is composed of protein fibers and has excellent biocompatibility with the human body. In addition, with a smooth surface, its coefficient of friction and irritation to the human body is the lowest among all types of fibers, only 7.4%. Therefore, when our delicate skin meets the smooth and delicate silk, it takes care of every inch of our skin with its unique soft texture, following the curves of the human body, thoughtfully and safely.
Secondly, it has good moisture absorption and release properties. Silk protein fibers are enriched with many hydrophilic groups such as amino groups (- CHNH) and amino groups (- NH2). Due to their porous nature, they are prone to water molecule diffusion, allowing them to absorb or dissipate water in the air while maintaining a certain amount of moisture. At normal temperatures, it can help the skin retain a certain amount of moisture and prevent it from becoming too dry; Wearing it in summer can quickly dissipate sweat and heat from the body, making people feel incredibly cool. It is precisely because of this performance that silk fabrics are more suitable for direct contact with human skin, so people consider silk clothing as one of the essential summer clothing. Silk not only has good heat dissipation performance, but also good warmth retention. Its insulation is proud of its porous fiber structure. In a single silk fiber, there are many extremely small fibers, which are composed of even smaller fibers. Therefore, more than 38% of seemingly solid silk is actually hollow, and there is a large amount of air in these gaps, which prevents the dissipation of heat and gives silk good insulation.
Thirdly, sound absorption, dust absorption, and heat resistance. Silk fabrics have a high porosity and therefore have good sound absorption and air absorption properties. Therefore, in addition to making clothing, they can also be used for indoor decoration, such as silk carpets, tapestries, curtains, wall coverings, etc. Using silk decorations to decorate a room can not only keep it spotless but also keep it quiet. Due to its moisture absorption, moisture release properties, as well as its moisturizing, inhaling, and porous properties, silk can also regulate indoor temperature and humidity, and absorb harmful gases, dust, and microorganisms. In addition, silk fibers have low thermal denaturation and are relatively heat-resistant. When heated to 100 ℃, it only becomes brittle at around 5-8%, while the thermal deformation of most synthetic fibers is 4-5 times greater than that of real silk. The combustion temperature of silk is between 300-400 ℃, which belongs to flame-retardant fibers, while the combustion temperature of synthetic fibers is between 200-2600 ℃, which is flammable and easy to melt. Therefore, using silk fiber as a raw material for indoor decoration can not only provide sound absorption, dust absorption, and insulation, but also have flame retardant properties.
Fourthly, it is resistant to ultraviolet rays. The tryptophan and tyrosine in silk protein can absorb ultraviolet light, so silk has good anti ultraviolet function. And ultraviolet rays are very harmful to human skin. Of course, after absorbing ultraviolet rays, silk undergoes chemical changes on its own, making silk fabrics prone to yellowing under sunlight exposure.
