The Splendour of Silk

There is nothing quite like an outfit made from silk to tantalise and excite the senses. The wonderfully adaptable material can be applied to almost any dressmaking project and can transform a good dress design into a truly great one.

According to ancient Chinese tradition, silk has been produced there since the 27th Century BCE and it remained a tightly guarded secret for at least 1000 years until gradually it became known in other lands and cultures. The opening of the Silk Road in the 2nd Century CE saw the Chinese first begin to mass export in a constructive and coherent way. From then, the whole world has fallen under the silken spell and it remains one of the most treasured and valued of materials and a perfect fabric for creating the most beautiful of dresses and outfits.
