Broderie Anglaise
Used for shirts, dresses, skirts and summer pieces, Broderie Anglaise is typically more durable than traditional lace, making it practical as well as decorative. You’ll also find it works beautifully alongside other stitched and embroidered fabrics, and pairs especially well with cotton lawn for lighter makes.
To finish your project, consider adding detail with ribbons and trimmings, or explore structured accents such as collars & yokes for a polished result.
150cm wide white broderie anglaise fabric with pretty embroidered floral pattern. Lovey for dresses, shirts and craft

Broderie Anglaise - meaning “English embroidery” - rose to popularity in the 19th century and remains a firm favourite today, regularly appearing in contemporary fashion collections.
Recognised for its detailed patterns formed from embroidered cutwork or small eyelets, often in floral or trailing designs, it offers decorative interest with structure. While it carries a heritage feel, it sits just as comfortably in modern wardrobes.
