NEVER Buying From LilySilk Again | Unsponsored Honest Update

[@normagonzalez1427]

I am glad to see someone honest. I hate videos that try to push me to buy something

[@traingirl.meghan]

I just bought by Lilysilk for the first time. I like what i bought. The only what dissapointed me is that i paid a lot of money for stuff that is made in China and came from China too. I prefer italian not chinese.

[@jamesjamm]

I am so sorry this happened, but I really appreciate you letting us know. It is unfortune to see the quality worsen as the price increases.

[@traingirl.meghan]

It is disappointing to see. I think they had a great thing going with silk basics, but I suppose they wanted to cut costs.

[@janehex]

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.

[@nancyvanderpuye5475]

This is so helpful. The comparison in quality is important to know about especially because prices have gone up. They sponsor so many youtubers you can't get a proper review. I've had things from them in the past and was thinking about getting something pretty expensive from them this time, thx to you I can now make a balanced decision. Thank you

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad I could help!

[@cherpeters8775]

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.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad I could help! Yes, their return policy is very tricky. I've just ordered zippered silk pillowcases from Quince, but they haven't arrived yet. I'll give an update on instagram if they're nice! 😊

[@DaylesAddiction]

I think it’s great you made this video Meghan- I have bought a few Cami’s and they are great but I find the sizing is so tricky for my body. Good to know about declining quality I’ll be keeping an eye out for that for sure.

[@traingirl.meghan]

❤️ Thank you Dayle! Their sizing is tricky. I felt like they didn't cater to an hourglass shape unless we size up for an oversized look. I learned to stay away from their dresses in particular.

[@nikkil764]

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. Believe me when I say I don’t have freakishly large arms and yet I couldn’t get my right arm into the blouse. Sent them back and it took weeks and several steps to finally get my money back. Never again.

[@traingirl.meghan]

It seems like LilySilk has had some serious quality control issues in the last year, and I've heard many people say returns were difficult. That's one thing that stresses me out ordering online compared to ordering from a local store. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Happy I could help! 😊 Part of me wishes I had picked up a silk cami so I could compare the quality because that was my favorite piece they offered.

[@terzim5695]

LilySilk is one of those youtube brands you only see when the influencers are peddling their wares. I've never seen a youtuber wear one of their pieces when they weren't shilling for LilySilk. I close out the video as soon as I realize they're hawking LilySilk. Not for me.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I've started to close out too or I'll skip past it. Unless it's clear in the title or thumbnail, I don't want sponsored content sprung on me.

[@helsdels9324]

I've only ever bought the elasticated silk hair ties from Lily Silk and I didn't think they were anywhere near as good as the Slip hair ties. I think it's worth paying the extra to get things from Slip X

[@traingirl.meghan]

I completely agree. I change my pillowcase 1-2 times per week since I use product in my hair, so I previously liked LilySilk as a more affordable option for extra pillowcases, but now I'll save up for the Slip ones. They have far superior quality.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

How disappointing! 😔 I’ve never ordered from lily silk and probably won’t now. It’s really sad to see the decline in quality, like you said it would have been nice to at least see consistency with the rising prices.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I just ordered two silk pillowcases from Quince, and I'm really hoping they are better quality. It would be great to have an affordable option!

[@patfondren6013]

I find everything in the marketplace is declining in quality. From silk to cashmere, polyester, but nobody tells us; they just raise the prices. I suppose it's the times we are living in. The times for good quality are gone.

[@martinasmrckova9484]

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.

[@sudhamukhia9860]

Silk has to be hand washed and dried by hanging in the air without wringing it !

[@martinasmrckova9484]

@@sudhamukhia9860 I did wash it on a low temperature using a program that mimics hand washing and is described as 'wool and silk'. I did hang dry it. I use the same method for my other silk pieces and never had any issue.

[@lilliancao2851]

machine washing? Silk, cashmere and such premium quality products has to be hand washed. I suggest cotton or normal materials for everyday wear.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I've noticed my dark navy pieces lost some of their depth, and they aren't as dark and shiny now. It wasn't immediate, but over a year or so. I always washed with cool water. I assumed they use cheap dyes because I haven't had this issue with other brands, and I treat them the same.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I do the same. Delicate wash in the machine and flat on a rack to dry. I have put plenty of other silks in the washer and dryer on low heat without any issues 😊

[@Celinamars666]

Thank you for the honest review, a rarity in our day and age. I do have lily silk products but from eBay. I don’t mind too much because I paid less but having said that the buttons were not sewn properly and I now have to pay to fix it. I feel like whether it’s luxury or necessity, most things are now more expensive, don’t last long, require your data and waste mos5 of your time. Vivienne Westwood said it well when she said Buy Less, Choose well and make it last. Only problem is that it’s getting harder to choose well with limited options.

[@traingirl.meghan]

That's a really good idea to check out ebay! Lower cost, and the items may be older when I think the quality was a bit better.

[@Celinamars666]

Thank u @@traingirl.meghan

[@emilyzhang5651]

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

[@luckysnw]

Thank you SO much for making this review. I’ve never bought from them before. I just put 5 items in the shopping basket. Before I check out, I thought I’d better checking their reviews first. I came to yours, and I totally understand what you were referring about. There are so many KZbinrs are promoting their items, and they sound so promising! But I had a little doubt so I haven’t checked out for days. I am SO lucky to hear your reviews. Thank you for your honest reviews again! You just saved me $600!

⁠ I would hope so that they don’t cheat😢 Although my cousin is dealing with imported clothes from China, she has boutiques. She told me that when the clothes leave China they have no tag attached to them, basically they give them liberty to put any material content they want. China don’t care. We also have no regulations to check that and make sure it’s legit content. They say it’s %80 silk for example but in reality it’s only 10%. Everything is so corrupt these days 😔

That is really frustrating 😔I prefer B corp certified companies whenever possible, but it's hard to shop exclusively with those.

[@ea1420]

Slip is only $20 or so more expensive per pillowcase and if you aren’t fussy on color you can gat the cheaper than lily silk. Lily silk made sense when they had decent quality products at a cheaper price point. Now their prices are on par more expensive brands it’s not worth it.

I have purchased 5 or more blouses from Lilysilk. Then I decided to make a major purchase with a navy coat dress. I returned the first one because despite my measurements matching their size guidelines, it was much too small. 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. Obviously I have never been able to wear. I have never ordered from lilysilk since then and never will again.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I tested one shirt 3 years ago by burning it because 100% silk burns very differently to a poly blend, and it seemed genuine to me. I can't speak to the new stuff, but I think it would be illegal for them to say it's 100% silk if it isn't. That seems like a big risk to me. When in doubt, I think it's best to order from other brands we can trust!

[@WKKK_NewYork]

I think you should know some ways to identify silk, I have tried many times, every time proved to be the real material. I'm just saying what I know, I suggest you try it. I also don't believe that many influencers use fake material...😅

[@balkangetaway]

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.

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]

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 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!

[@traingirl.meghan]

I still enjoy the camisoles I bought from them several years ago, but I completely agree. It's very pricey for the current quality.

[@alinaa641]

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 could have, but I wanted to test them out for comparison. Also, I didn't realize the pillowcase was as bad as it was until I used it. They have a "100 night trial" for pillowcases, but that's only if you didn't buy them on sale. They allow one free return for unworn items, and after that the customer has to pay for return shipping. I've never returned anything to LilySilk, but I have heard about issues like people not getting their money back and customer service not responding.

You can comment your older videos and pin the comment, so it‘s the first one for everyone to read 📌 (oh, you had that idea yourself 👌) I did a collab with Mommesilk and got a pillow case and a blouse. I‘m not an expert on silk, but I absolutely love the two pieces I got (not sponsored but got the products for free, so maybe I‘m bias 😅)

[@myluxurycloset529]

I worked with Mommesilk too - but I have to say I way prefer Blissy - and I have paid for every item I have gotten from them (i've bought 4 king and 6 standard pillowcases) - Mommesilk Pillowcases are a little scratchy in comparison. I did find the Mommesilk pajamas to be very nice feeling though!❤

[@traingirl.meghan]

Thank you for the recommendation! I haven't tried Mommesilk yet. I recently ordered the king sized pillowcases from Quince, and they worked out well 😊

[@HB-xw6im]

Often these companies get attraction and get bought by investment companies or lager companies that just transform them in quick cash cows.. it is really SAD! One tip: please put down on the description box / subtittles the other brands you suggested because it is hard to know... thank you for the update!

[@traingirl.meghan]

It is very disappointing, and we're seeing it more and more. I do have a few suggested brands for silk in the description box, but there is a lot of information in there. I'll try to make it clearer next time. Thanks 😊

[@Bourgeois-Bohemian]

Very detailed review. I was looking for a video that can address LilySilk's quality.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad this was helpful! 😊

[@milourose2973]

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.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad I could help. If LilySilk wants to charge those prices, they should increase the quality and improve the overall shopping/shipping experience.

[@milourose2973]

@@traingirl.meghan I could not agree more. Never ever buying from them again.

[@TV4Fun2]

Do you have a referral link for Slip? I'd be happy to send a conversation your way.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I don't have a referral link, but I think that brand is fantastic.

[@noorab3313]

I am so disappointed! I recently ordered some cashmere and merino jumpers as a special treat for myself and the quality disappointed me! They look like they would cost 40-50€, they were really thin and looked like average cheap clothes… 😢

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't trust their clothes to hold up anymore 😕

[@IrisLA1]

Thanks for the heads up! Not gonna fall for the hype in Lilysilk sponsorships.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm happy I could help ❤️

[@12044m]

Maybe I missed it but did you contact them and tell them you were unhappy? Why didn’t you return the items you were unhappy with?

[@traingirl.meghan]

I have communicated with them. I believe they currently offer a 30 day guarantee, but they only had their general return policy at the time. I couldn't return used items, and I always wash or steam things before using them.

[@andreeam.5582]

I checked their site and the prices are quite high for my budget so I went to Vinted to see if I can find something cheaper there form them and I seen made in China and that was a huge read flag for me. So this is how I got to your review:)))) which somehow confirms what I thought initially

[@traingirl.meghan]

Totally agree. There are much better brands at those prices, and sometimes those higher quality pieces go on sale. Shopping secondhand for silk is a great idea! Glad I could help!

[@myluxurycloset529]

I absolutely love Blissy:). Sorry you had a bad experience here...:(

[@traingirl.meghan]

Thank you for the recommendation! I'm not familiar with that brand 😊

[@rosemaryhowes8047]

I've bought 2 items from this company, a jumper and a silk shirt. I can only say they were both absolutely lovely and of a good quality and I will definitely be buying again from them.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad it's worked out. I hope they are making improvements.

[@carissaboucher6293]

So how do you find a company that sells good quality?

[@traingirl.meghan]

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.

[@carissaboucher6293]

Thank you that helps a lot

[@Kodak718]

Thank you so much for this video. I saw the price and said I'll make the investment for some work clothes if the reviews are good. Decided not to.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad sharing my experience could help!

[@annwashington471]

Why are you sorry? The truth is the truth the poducst are not what they should be for the pirce you paid. I am so tired of influencers pusing lily silk and not telling us the wholte truth. I appreciate your honesty.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I've seen so many sponsored lilysilk ads recently for the holidays. Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@lynettedean451]

Thank you for your honesty.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I hope it helps! Thank you for watching ❤

[@pavornocturnus1145]

How can a company sell silk at this pricepoint and quantity and claim they are sustainable? Silk is never sustainable in production. It screams scam and somebody will pay the price.

[@traingirl.meghan]

That's a good point to bring up. I think anything poor quality is automatically unsustainable because it forces people to repurchase over and over.

[@sorayajaedicke]

What shilk brands and products can you recommend

[@traingirl.meghan]

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.

[@janeswan2474]

[@lindapassos]

I'm sorry about your new experience with Lilysilk 😳, maybe that's why they are sponsoring everyone 🙈 😬

[@traingirl.meghan]

Probably 😕 I constantly see their sponsored ads on instagram and youtube.

[@michellecrawford5692]

I bought tops. And they were way too small.

[@traingirl.meghan]

Their sizing was tricky. I was typically a medium, but I found some tops didn't fit my chest, and the size up was too big.

[@RebeccaTaylor-l5o]

Thank you for being honest. I bought two items from LilySilk this summer. The sizing was completely inaccurate, and the silk was flimsy and cheap. I have bought better real silk for 25% of the cost. Never again.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I'm glad I could help! Their sizing is tricky. I had trouble when buying dresses previously. Same, I've found great deals on high quality silk at Nordstrom Rack!

[@littlesun8294]

Such a shame…well they ve got great quality 3 years ago since they established in 2020. They shouldn’t have lost any of the valuable customers… maybe spend too much money on marketing rather than the product itself

[@traingirl.meghan]

It is shame. This seems like a common trend as companies get bigger, they cut back on quality to increase profits. I loved the pieces I bought 3 years ago.

[@CindymeCindy]

I’m halfway through the video and you haven’t mentioned the momme weight!!!! 19 is cheap and thin. 22 is better. 25 is heavier and slightly rougher. Since you haven’t mentioned the momme weights, we don’t know if the two pillowcases were different because of the momme weights or because you didn’t notice you were buying different weights.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I understand why that would have been helpful to mention. I didn't point it out because they are the same weights, 22 momme. I have products listed in the description box.

[@janeswan2474]

I think Lilysilk is fake. I purchased sheets and they were horrible. They felt like polyester. I have more expensive brands and the difference is like night and day.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I can only speak for the item I tested years ago, but they were not fake. The quality seems to have dropped significantly. If you're still in doubt, you can always burn a patch.

Lily silk vs mommy silk

[@traingirl.meghan]

I've heard good things about momme silk, but I haven't tried it.

[@olivebobo6885]

It sound like they are a victim of their own success.

[@traingirl.meghan]

I suspect they lowered their quality or started missing things in QA as they became more successful and orders increased.

[@notme1255]

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.

[@traingirl.meghan]

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.

[@aiai-j7i]

@notme1255 What are you nuts??!!

[@karentrail8077]

I am extremely angry with this companies deceptive practices. I have purchased many items. But let me tell you the deceptive practices come in with their sale codes. If you get monogrammed items this is what the discount is applied. Not the actual items in my case pajamas. So I spend $ 600.00 off I receive an $8.00 discount. This is bait and switch at its finest.

[@traingirl.meghan]

They do like to bring customers in with flashy sale promises, but it ends up very being expensive. The deals used to be much better.
