Experiences with silk dresses for black tie weddings/events? Been looking for wedding guest dresses and I found a couple of silk ones that I really like but worried about them wrinkling, showing sweat, and just generally having to be careful to maintain them (would like to wear multiple times). One is a floral patterned dark ish blue and one is fuchsia for context.

I ended up choosing the pink silk dress and it was actually perfect! Would have some minor wrinkles after sitting for a while but they smoothed out quickly once I stood. Found it to be pretty breathable too.

I’ve done long sleeve satin dress for an autumn wedding and it was excellent and looked flattering all night, wrinkles-wise, but it was a reasonably cool temperature so I can’t speak to warmth and sweat.

Mulberry silk or synthetic is wrinkle free, I just hand wash and hang, maybe steam it a bit. Real silk is more breathable, whereas synthetic often gets sweaty. Real silk satin is less commonly used now, but super wrinkly if thin, just be prepared for permanent wrinkles and either rock it regardless or never wash it 😭

Yup those are going to be good! Thicker fabric and shiny. Good luck :)

be careful, silk is really hot in summer!
