    <description><![CDATA[Most swimwear is designed around a B or C cup sample size. The pattern is graded up from there, which means a size 14 top in a D cup is often just a scaled-up B cup pattern, not a redesigned one. The result is cups that gap at the top, straps that pull forward, and underwires that sit on breast tissue instead of below it. If this sounds familiar, the problem is the pattern, not your body.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Linen swimwear sounds counterintuitive. Linen is a natural fibre, it absorbs water, and it wrinkles. All of that is true. It's also fast-drying, naturally UV-resistant, and gets softer with every wash without losing its structure. For a swimsuit worn at a beach lunch or a resort pool, not in competitive laps, linen is a genuinely good choice.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Kiryu is a small city in Gunma Prefecture, about two hours north of Tokyo by train. It's been a silk-weaving centre since at least the eighth century, when the region's climate and access to mulberry trees made it a natural home for sericulture. At its peak in the Meiji era, Kiryu was producing silk for export across Europe and North America. Most of that industry is gone now. A handful of family mills remain.]]></description>

    <guid>https://nexcoreflowpath.com/notes/lingerie-sizing-guide-japanese-european.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[Japanese lingerie sizing uses a letter-number system that looks similar to European sizing but isn't. A Japanese 75B is not the same as a European 75B. If you've ordered lingerie from Japan and found it doesn't fit, the sizing system is probably why. Here's how to read it correctly.]]></description>
