    <description><![CDATA[Silk is sold by weight, measured in momme (written as mm or simply momme). The number tells you how much 100 yards of the fabric weighs in pounds. For swimwear and lingerie, the choice of momme matters more than most buyers realize. It affects drape, opacity, durability, and how the fabric behaves when wet.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Calais lace. Sometimes called Calais-Caudry lace. Is made in a small region of northern France using Leavers looms, a type of machine that has not changed significantly since the early nineteenth century. The lace it produces has a particular quality: the threads interlock rather than simply crossing, which gives the fabric a dimensional quality and a durability that cheaper lace does not have.]]></description>

    <title><![CDATA[Why Torso Length Matters More Than Cup Size in Swimwear Fit]]></title>

    <description><![CDATA[Most swimwear is sized by bust and hip. Torso length. The distance from your shoulder to your crotch. Is rarely mentioned on a product page, and yet it is the measurement that most often determines whether a one-piece or a high-waist bikini fits correctly. A piece that is too short in the torso pulls down at the front and gaps at the back. A piece that is too long bunches at the crotch. Neither is comfortable.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Silk has a reputation for being difficult to care for, and some of that reputation is earned.

Avoid those four things and silk is more durable than most people expect.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Nishijin is a district in the northwest of Kyoto that has been producing woven textiles since the fifth century. It is best known for the silk brocades used in kimono, but the district also produces a range of lighter fabrics, including the cotton voile we have been using since the spring 2023 collection. The voile comes from Tanaka Textile, a family-run mill that has been operating in Nishijin since 1961.]]></description>
