    It's so disheartening the way this seems to ALWAYS happen when a small business gets some success. Cut corners and cut quality, raise prices. It's pure greed, and nothing more.
    I have one silk cami from Lilysilk that I got about 18 months ago, and it came with a pink eye mask. But I have another black eye mask from Lilysilk that's over two years old and it's like yours, very thick and soft and well made, and came in a very nice gift box with earplugs included.
    Sometimes it feels like all products across the board are just getting crappier. Late stage capitalism.

    I am SO glad I saw this. I was about ready to buy 2 more pillow cases. The older ones are the exact size of my pillow and I will only buy zippered ones, so THANK YOU! Another thing about LS is their return policy. I had a return several years ago and evidently they only allow ONE free return. I bought that stripped shirt all the influencers are pushing and it was too big. The CHEAPEST shipping option cost me almost $18! I would rather pay more and get the quality I expect.

    Hi Meghan, I also have issues with some of my Lilysilk items. I started buying from Lilysilk about 2 years ago and some of the pieces (especially) the dark colored ones lost its color pretty fast. I don't know how to describe it better, the pieces just lost its shine, the color faded and colorless spots appeared (like the color almost disappeared from these spots and it looks kind of dirty). I machine washed these items using a program and detergent suitable for silk. I think it might be due to poor quality of the dye or incorrect dyeing process. Has this ever happened to you? Another issue I have are the buttons. On some garments the buttons are made of white plastic dyed to the color of the garment and the color kind of peels off of the buttons just a few weeks after purchase. Another think I don't like about Lilysilk shirts and dresses is that they mostly don't have darts which means that they don't fit ladies with bigger chests. Otherwise, there are some Lilysilk pieces I absolutely love and don't have any issues with (I think it's about half the pieces I own). But I definitely won't buy any colored silk items. I might consider buying some silk knit pieces, cashmere or wool.

    After seeing so many people rave about Lillysilk I ordered two blouses for Christmas last year. What a disappointment, Poor quality stitching, badly cut items. This was not just pickiness on my part. One arm was significantly narrower than the other.

Never again.

      Unfortunately this applies to a lot of things today and not just Lilysilk. Whether it's electronics, clothing, appliances etc, their quality just aren't as good as before. It's capitalism at play here, everyone is trying to cut corners and raise prices to make more profit. That's why you are seeing so much polyester crap but they are selling at a fairly high price too. Unless something is done to change this, the quality of things will continue to decline while prices continue to skyrocket

I reordered the same item having having a professional seamstress take my measurements and paid extra for custom fit. This time the coat dress was 2 sizes too large. The cost was approximately $450.

    I just bought a 25 momme pillowcase and an eye ask ( was not free). The eye mask was horrible, no filling. It is useless and straight for the trash. Looked like the one you got for free so they do actually sell them. I use sleep masks a lot for my migraines.
    The pillowcase seemed very thin and not as soft as the silk I know from other places.
    I do think you should update you old videos. They should not live off old videos when that is not what they sell anymore.

    • @traingirl.meghan

    • @traingirl.meghan
      @traingirl.meghan  8 месяцев назад +1

      That's a tough one. I look up reviews or shop at local department stores with good return policies and customer service. I try to buy thicker silk. The brands Equipment, Joie, and Vince frequently go on sale, and they offer exceptional silk pieces. If the seams are pulling where the thread is sewn into the fabric, that's a sign of poor quality, and it won't last.

    I also purchased a LilySilk eye mask through Amazon because through their website it's more difficult to return in case I'm unhappy with the product. I found the same thing. The mask was very thin. While I liked the shine and feel of the fabric, it was way too thin and unpadded to actually do anything. Plus, it was pressing on my eyes while on because of how thin it was. Needless to say, I returned it. I've purchased some other items though, also through Amazon and I was happy with the quality. Now I say happy because I don't have comparison with items sold previously but I do have the comparison with Intimissimi brand. They do silk items. The prices are not very different but LilySilk fabric is definitely thicker. What I am worried about is actually a pair of trousers they say it's silk but don't really feel like silk. I'm in two minds because they fit me like a dream and for someone 5' tall and slim finding a pair of high waisted trousers that fit, especially in length, is an achievement. I do agree though that their marketing tactics are nasty.

    I have over 30 pieces of the Lilysilk items (from top to the bottom)but I really don’t use them too much but only the pillow case ,mask and underwear that is. The flat sheet feels good but slips out all night long because too slippery . The nightgown ,bra are very uncomfortable because there’s no giving or too tight when I sleep on or wear it.
    In conclusion, this brand comes from china and also very pricey for what you get!

      For a budget brand, I've been enjoying Quince. I purchased several king sized silk pillowcases, and then I bought a top and a few silk skirts. Equipment and Joie make gorgeous silk pieces. I love their blouses! They are more expensive but very high quality. I typically buy them when they go on sale at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack.

    Today I received my order of a pleated skirt from Lilysilk. It came in an A4 style envelope and when I took it out it was massively creased. I don't know where to begin to get the creases out especially as creases cut across all the pleats, This garment should have been only folded horizontally and placed in a large shallow cardboard box, not stuffed into an envelope. I paid £219 for this skirt and I am disgusted with the way the company treated its transit to me. This was my first purchase, and need I say it? my last, Your video only reinforces my decision.

    Great Video! I’ve bought Lilysilk once like 5-6 years ago and then again 2 years ago and the quality has worsened so much.
    Bedsheet 25 momme broke after 2 years of use and the duvetcover keeps getting knots and thinning out, my pieces from 5 years+ ago don’t have that and their support is trying to gaslight me saying its normal and that it’s my mistake for handling the products bad and washing them wrongly. all they offered was 100euro giftcard for the broken bedsheet i paid 400 euros for! Never again.

    • @traingirl.meghan
      @traingirl.meghan  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for sharing your experience! That's really unfortunate because the 25 momme sheets are supposed to be on the upper end of quality Lilysilk offers. I hate it when customer service tries to blame your handling, especially when you can compare it directly to their earlier product and know the difference.

    with many companies offering the lightweight 19 momme.

    I have several blouses from a few years ago and I just bought a pleated skirt from Lilysilk. I don't notice any issues and I almost have to wonder if people who are complaining of color issues, etc are washing too often, and with too harsh of chemicals and detergents? I just don't have the problems that they've had and I only see this kind of "dog piling" feedback on click baity negative videos anyway.
    I have probably two dozen silk tops from Lilysilk, Lily pullitzer, JCrew to Quince and unknown vintage silks. Only one has ever had a spot that I can't remove and that's an old vintage silk top. Considering how many I own and they're from different times, I doubt that I'm just "lucky".
    Yes, some companies let success get to their heads and get greedy or cut back on quality... but there are just as many times that I've seen people want to drag down a company for getting too big, too fast and they hate sharing their own little secret silk store with the rest of the nobodies. Usually I see this "tearing down" behavior with makeup brands but IDK 😶 I'm just saying.. no quality issues here.

      I think it's important to hear every type of review, the good and the bad. That's why I made positive reviews about LilySilk several years ago. It's valuable information for the company so they can be alerted to production issues. I'm guessing the people here who have had color issues are comparing it to their other silk pieces. I'm careful when washing, and I haven't had an issue with my older LilySilk products or silks from other brands. The newer ones have already faded in color.
