Just read recent posts on this thread, I couldn't resist jumping in to say this: If you don't know how to iron silk and can't iron 56"x56" square of silk quickly, please DO NOT EVER wash your mousselines AND air dry. It changes the texture of your mousselines and ruins the sheen of changeante. I made such mistake once and I don't want anybody to make the same mistake. With older mousselines that are thick and heavily starched, washing and air drying may not be a huge issue, but recent mousselines are very thin and dry quickly hence change texture in a matter of few minutes after washing. In addition, special attention should be paid when ironing wet mousseline so that the hem doesn't shrink (rolled hem has more layers of silk hence stays wet longer and more prone to air dry and shrink compared to the flat body of the mousseline).
Disclaimer: I'm OCD when it comes to my mousselines. Unlike silk twills, mousselines are rare breed, once you ruin one, it's really difficult to find a replacement.

Thank you so much for posting this!! :flowers:
