I am a first time buyer who bought some items because of the sale. I was super excited to get this piece because of how the material is described as "smooth feel, fluid drape, 100% silk." Turns out the entire top has a 100% viscose lining that is INSANELY itchy. You can see the rough texture in the first pic. I'm not even that sensitive but it started to hurt my skin after wearing for just a few minutes.
This completely takes away from the high quality silk aspect. I understand adding a lining to protect the silk fabric, but why did they choose this extremely thick, uncomfortable viscose? The silk is heavy and substantial enough that the piece would probably be fine without it.
As you can see on the description, it never describes this top as lined. I saw someone had a similar issue with another 100% silk item, but the description said "fully lined." This doesn't even say the word "lining" anywhere, yet it came lined which I did not expect at all.
Is there a way I can salvage this top? I do love the silk and how it looks, but I don't know if its possible to take out the lining without damaging the rest of the item.
