    <title><![CDATA[Velvet in Intimate Apparel: Why It Works in Autumn]]></title>

    <description><![CDATA[Velvet has been used in intimate apparel since at least the nineteenth century, when it appeared as trim on corsets and dressing gowns. Its use in contemporary lingerie is less common, partly because it is difficult to work with and partly because it is associated with a specific aesthetic that not every maker wants to commit to. The Velours line uses velvet trim deliberately, for specific reasons.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The Bougies de Chambre line was not an obvious addition to a lingerie collection. Candles are a crowded category, and the connection between scent and intimate apparel is easy to make in a superficial way. The decision to add them came from a specific observation: the atmosphere of a room is part of the experience of wearing something carefully made, and scent is the fastest way to change the atmosphere of a room.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Most lace sold in lingerie today is produced on Raschel machines, which work quickly and produce a uniform fabric. Leavers lace is produced on a different type of loom entirely, one that dates to the early nineteenth century and works at a fraction of the speed. The difference is not only visual. It is tactile, structural, and, over time, durational.]]></description>

    <title><![CDATA[How to Wash and Store Silk Charmeuse at Home]]></title>

    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://husklabzone.com/notes/caring-for-silk-charmeuse-at-home.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[Silk charmeuse is a weave, not a fibre type. The charmeuse weave produces a fabric with a high-sheen face and a matte back, and the bias cut used in slips and camisoles means the fabric is under slight tension in all directions when worn. Both of these facts affect how the garment should be washed and stored.]]></description>

    <title><![CDATA[The Bias Cut: Why It Drapes the Way It Does]]></title>
    <link>https://husklabzone.com/notes/what-is-a-bias-cut-slip.html</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://husklabzone.com/notes/what-is-a-bias-cut-slip.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[A bias cut means the fabric is cut at a forty-five degree angle to the grain. On a woven fabric like silk charmeuse, this changes the way the fabric behaves entirely. It becomes elastic in a way that a straight-grain cut is not, and it drapes in a way that follows the body rather than hanging away from it.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Nishijin is a district in the northwest of Kyoto that has been associated with silk weaving for several centuries. The workshops there have historically supplied fabric to kimono makers, and the techniques developed for kimono silk, particularly the attention to weight, drape, and surface finish, carry over into the charmeuse produced there today.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Most lingerie is bought quickly and worn briefly. The reasons are usually the same: the fabric does not hold up to washing, the fit was approximate rather than accurate, or the piece was bought for a specific occasion and has no life beyond it. A different approach to buying produces a different result.]]></description>
