Has anyone tried the Uniqlo silk shirts or anything from Ines de la Fressange there?

I was wondering about trying a Uniqlo silk skirt or t shirt but wondered if anyone might have tried and could save me the trouble if the quality is terrible. It does seem v reasonable priced now especially in the sale.

Many thanks.

I have several items from the Ines range
2 dresses,2 stripey Breton tunics and a Navy jacket.
Suberb quality .

I also buy all my pants/vests/socks/leggings and all DS1&2 shirts there Blush they wash beautifully.

I have a silk shirt from last year. Very good quality and I wash it in the machine on a delicvate cycle. They do seem to come up quite large. I have somes Ines stuff too and that is good quality. In fact everything I have from Uniqlo is.

I've just taken delivery of one and I can confirm they come up large. As s busty 12/14 I ordered a medium and it's too big. It's lovely though so I've ordered a small (hoping I'm not between sizes Confused)

I tried on the silk vest, but it looked terrible on me. It just didn't sit right and as I have a big chest, it made me look huge.

Still, I think at that price, it's with a try.

Not my style, but I've seen the collection in store and the quality is really nice.

I own 5 Uniqlo silk shirts and 1 top Blush. Had 4 of them delivered today Blush. 1 shirt is Ines. The quality is really excellent for the price, they fit me perfectly and drape beautifully and aren't sheer. I am a 10 and 30F and buy Small, they are just the right amount of looseness.

I haven't machine washed them, even though I have a handwash cycle. Maybe if I get some delicates bags.

That's really helpful. Many thanks for the replies!

I didn't like the silk t shirts. Even the xs was massive (I'm a 10) and not in a nice drapey way. The fabric was v thin showing bra (i tried pale colours) and quite shiny.

The shirts looked a bit better and I've bought silk stuff from there before which has been great so just that particular style that wasn't working for me...

I love the jumpers. I know this is not what you asked!

KanyesVest · 22/04/2015 22:18

I have a silk shirt but I find the buttons are a bit oddly placed or maybe my boobs are so it's unfortunately gapey and I can't figure out the top button. Quality is lovely though.

y y to gapey shirt (the one with the pockets). And I am not well-endowed.

RitaOrange · 23/04/2015 18:03

I like the shirts and they machine wash well. I like them oversized though so good for me.

Thanks Rita!
