Embrace the season’s hyper-feminine trend with ruffled blouses and flowing cotton dresses – frills, guaranteed
Dress up in broderie anglaise
This season, fashion has taken a romantic turn, with pretty broderie anglaise pieces everywhere. Beautifully crafted white cotton blouses and striking broderie dresses are simply irresistible – a sentiment that echoes back to the Victorian era that embraced broderie anglaise, and now resonates with top 21st-century fashion designers. The likes of Isabel Marant and Chloé have used this traditional embroidery technique to create eye-catching contemporary designs.
If you share our love for broderie, a midi dress is a great place to start. This broderie anglaise dress by Nobody’s Child, made from light, breathable cotton and with charming puff sleeves, looks effortlessly elegant paired with tan leather sandals and a straw bag. For a dressed-up evening out, try an off-the-shoulder bardot style.
Picture this – you’re exploring the streets of a sunny Mediterranean city, not just running errands in your local town. What could be more fitting than a delicate broderie anglaise blouse? These tops are a summer staple and pair perfectly with linen shorts, wide-leg jeans and denim midi skirts.
Whether you go for a vintage-style blouse with frills or a simple white T-shirt jazzed up with broderie cut-out detailing, broderie anglaise tops remain timeless, maximising their cost-per-wear value.
