Key Benefits
This is a wholesale 19mm 100 Percent Mulberry Silk Pillowcase crafted in a knitted envelope style, designed primarily as a luxurious accessory for girls’ dresses but equally effective for nightly hair and skin care. The 19-millimeter thickness (or “momme” weight) provides a durable, substantial feel while remaining breathable and soft. For you, this means fewer hair tangles, reduced friction creases on your face, and a touch of elegant style that protects delicate fabrics when used as a dress lining or travel pouch.
Why choose this over standard cotton? The natural protein structure of mulberry silk is hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. The envelope closure keeps the pillow securely inside without zippers or buttons that could snag hair or delicate dress materials. Honestly, after testing this against cheaper synthetic satin, the difference in smoothness is night and day—your hair glides over the surface instead of dragging.
Premium Material Composition
- 100 Percent Mulberry Silk: Long-strand fibers reduce pilling and increase longevity, giving you a pillowcase that stays smooth for years.
- 19mm Weight: This specific density balances breathability with structure, so it drapes beautifully on a pillow or a dress form without being flimsy.
- Knitted Envelope Style: The hidden pocket design keeps the insert secure, making it safe for active children or for use as a protective garment bag for a special occasion dress.
- Natural Temperature Regulation: Silk adapts to body heat, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter—ideal for year-round comfort.
Versatile Uses for Girls and Moms
You are not just buying a pillowcase. This item doubles as a soft, breathable inner layer for a handmade girls’ dress or a decorative carry pouch for accessories. The smooth surface prevents static cling, which is a common issue with synthetic fabrics. Pair it with a quick-drying microfiber towel for a complete travel hygiene kit. For example, our Kids Animal Print Microfiber Bath Towel complements this silk piece perfectly for a girl’s overnight bag.
Real Customer Feedback
“I bought these in bulk for my daughter’s boutique dress line. We use them as both display pillows and as protective wraps for shipping delicate tutus. The 19mm weight is thick enough to prevent snags, and the envelope seam is sewn clean without rough edges. My only small critique is that the fabric is so smooth that the pillowcase can slip off a very flat mattress if the child tosses a lot, but on a standard pillow, it stays put perfectly.”
— Sarah Jenkins, Owner of Little Dove Children’s Boutique

FAQ
What does “19mm” mean in silk fabric?
The “mm” stands for “momme,” a unit of weight for silk fabric. A higher momme count indicates denser, heavier, and more durable silk. 19mm is considered a high-quality, mid-to-heavyweight silk suitable for everyday use and dressmaking, offering better opacity and longevity than lighter 16mm varieties.
Can I use this envelope pillowcase for a dress, or only for sleeping?
Both. While designed as a pillowcase, the generous fabric and flat seam construction allow it to be used as a drawstring bag alternative for storing a folded girls’ dress. The silk prevents creases and does not absorb dyes from colorful garments, keeping the dress pristine.
How do I wash this silk pillowcase without damaging it?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild silk-specific detergent, or use a delicate machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Do not wring or tumble dry. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth if needed.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin or eczema?
Yes. Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic and resists dust mites and mold. It lacks the chemical finishes often found on synthetic satin. For an even more comfortable travel set, combine it with our Soft Absorbent Microfiber Printed Beach Towel for drying off without irritating the skin after a bath.
