But when I added lace to the designs, the feeling changed completely. A bit of lace at the neckline or hem adds a softness that\u2019s hard to describe. It frames the body in a delicate way and creates a quiet sense of romance. Colors like soft rose, cream gold, or classic black give the silk a new kind of energy \u2014 not loud, but warm and intimate. Many people tell me they feel \u201cdifferent\u201d the moment they put on a lace-trimmed nightgown. It\u2019s as if their mood shifts a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s interesting is how different people respond. Some clients love the simple, clean look of solid silk. They say it feels timeless and fits easily into their everyday life. Others are drawn to the atmosphere that lace creates. One person once told me, \u201cWhen I wear that lace-trimmed one, I just feel softer.\u201d This is exactly why I love what I do. Designing isn\u2019t just about showing my own taste.

They\u2019re two ways of expressing different parts of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So today, I don\u2019t want to make a case for one or the other. Instead, I\u2019d love to hear from you: When I design silk nightgowns, there\u2019s one question that comes up again and again: Do people prefer the clean look of solid colors, or the soft, romantic touch of lace? It\u2019s not something with a simple answer. To me, these two styles don\u2019t compete. They express different moods \u2014 calm and gentle, modern and romantic … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-silk-guides","latest_post"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23270"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23274,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23270\/revisions\/23274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"silk](\"https:\/\/www.ellesilk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/silk-nightgowns-1010-2-1.jpg\")

Do you prefer the calm, simple elegance of solid colors, or the romantic, soft touch of lace?
Or maybe, like many people, you switch between the two depending on your mood and the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
