I've been obsessed with a golden silk orb weaver that built a web outside. The web is SO gold, the name is no exaggeration. That research led me to learn about this real-life legendary loot.

It's much larger than the main image makes it look:

    I took that to mean the garment looks like an appealing vagina to you? Did I misunderstand?

    The Wikipedia article is entirely devoid of tactile descriptions of the fabric.

    Is it lighter, heavier than regular silk?

    Is it stiffer or softer?

    How durable is it comparatively? does it stretch?

    Should I wash on delicate? Is it drier safe? I guess bleach is OK for taking tough stains out, because it’s not dyed.

    The article reads like an ad, but I'm not sure at whom it is targeted. Feels weird
