Lilysilk has built a presence in the silk and luxury bedding space that’s hard to ignore, the marketing is polished, the sale prices look compelling, and the pillowcase reviews are genuinely good. The clothing is a different story entirely.

We went through the Reddit discussions to find out what’s actually worth buying and what to skip.

The Good

Pillowcases and Bedding Are the Brand’s Strongest Category

• The most consistent positive feedback by a significant margin
  “I had a bedding set by Lilysilk. It lasted well! Pillowcases still going strong, duvet cover perfect.” (5 upvotes)
  “My mom loves their pillowcases as well! She’s a silk fiend and finds their quality to be quite good, especially for the nice price.” (2 upvotes)

Silk Hair Accessories Earn Specific and Consistent Praise

• The scrunchies in particular have a devoted following
  “Current favourite is the silk hair caps. Everything feels the same as any other silk thing I’ve had. Absolutely love the scrunchies — never pull on hair.” (17 upvotes)

Some Clothing Holds Up Well — Particularly Silk Pants

• Long-term owners of specific styles report genuine durability
  “Have several silk pants. Wash normal and hang dry. Still looks new. They hold up so well.” (2 upvotes)
  “I have pillowcases and a few shirts and pants. They’re all in great condition 3 years later.” (5 upvotes)

The Not So Good

Silk Clothing Is Where the Brand Consistently Disappoints

• The most upvoted critical comment in the entire discussion
  “I bought a silk shirt once from Lilysilk to try their quality. Shiny, crispy, creasy fabric, which I wore once, regretted, and then put in the charity bin.” (21 upvotes)
• Not a one-off experience
  “Ordered the blouse and it felt like plastic. Nothing like silk.” (2 upvotes)
  “Not at all. Bought on three separate occasions from that company. Awful quality every time.” (8 upvotes)

The Cashmere Is Worse Than the Clothing
“I don’t recommend!!! They DELETED my 1 star review. Their cashmere wasn’t good quality — it was actual shit.” (2 upvotes)

• The deleted review is its own concern — review manipulation has been reported by multiple users

Quality Has Declined Over Time

• A consistent pattern from long-term shoppers
  “I purchased many Lilysilk garments until about four years ago. The sizing and quality have diminished greatly. I don’t recommend it.” (2 upvotes)
  “Judging by the other comments, it seems as if the quality maybe declined in recent years.” (8 upvotes)

How It Compares

• Quince — the most recommended alternative for silk clothing; machine-washable silk, good return policy, and better consistency; seam quality noted as imperfect but overall superior to Lilysilk clothing
  “My impression of Lilysilk is that the quality doesn’t match the price point. If you can afford LS prices, I might wait and see if you can get a higher quality brand on sale.” (22 upvotes)

• Vince — described as impressive quality for silk items at a comparable price point
• Trenery — strongly preferred over Lilysilk specifically for silk shirts (21 upvotes)
• Tara Sartoria — recommended for heavy 27 momme silk and excellent construction for serious silk buyers
• Jasmine Silk — suggested as a budget-friendly alternative for pillowcases if even Lilysilk feels like too much to spend
• Blissy — mixed reviews; comparable feel to cheaper options with reported durability issues

Tips from Reddit

• Stick to pillowcases and accessories if you’re new to the brand — these are where the quality-to-price ratio is most consistently justified
• Use specialist detergent for all silk and wool items — The Laundress delicate detergent comes up specifically; regular detergent damages the fabric
• Hand wash or use a garment bag in cool water; machine washing without protection shortens the lifespan significantly
• Hang or lay flat to dry — the dryer is not an option for any silk item regardless of brand

Final Verdict

Reddit’s verdict on Lilysilk is split almost exactly along product category lines — and once you know which category you’re buying from, the decision becomes fairly clear.

• Worth it for pillowcases, bedding, hair accessories, and silk pants; these categories earn genuine long-term loyalty and hold up to the price
• Not worth it for silk shirts, blouses, or cashmere; the quality complaints are too consistent and the alternatives too good to justify

The brand occupies an awkward middle ground — priced as premium, delivering mid-tier results in clothing, and genuinely decent results in bedding and accessories. The declining quality trajectory and review manipulation concerns are real enough to factor into any purchase decision.
