Broderie Anglaise Tops

Our women’s broderie tops feature cutwork detail and a wonderfully tactile surface texture. Expect light, breathable fabrics that allow air to flow. The result is women’s tops that feel breezy on, particularly in warmer conditions. In our edit you’ll find shirts, blouses and looser shapes such as vests. Some are lined through the body for coverage, with sleeves or panels in a semi-sheer fabric to highlight the detailing. Think feminine designs in all-over broderie with peplum silhouettes, alongside simpler shapes such as button-through tanks and waistcoats. Look out for trim detailing to add a pretty finish to formal outfits.

Colour affects how the pattern stands out, and our women’s white tops emphasise the cutwork most clearly. Here, the contrast between fabric and openings makes the design more visible. Women’s black tops create a subtler effect, where the texture reads more through shadow than contrast. Women’s linen tops offer a textured base with a slightly looser weave, while women’s silk tops provide a smoother surface that softens the look of the embroidery. If you’re exploring similar finishes, women’s embroidered tops focus on surface stitching without the cut-out detail.

Styling centres on balance. For a casual look, wear one of our ladies’ broderie tops with your favourite pair of women’s jeans and let the detailing remain the focus. You can also partner a broderie top with a full-volume skirt and really lean into the country-inspired aesthetic.
