However, in this case, it would be broderie anglaise involved, that delicate, embroidered net with its minute cutwork designs that were once a feature of Edwardian wardrobes and summer picnic frocks, and is enjoying a complete revival. It is not just on the catwalks in Copenhagen, Paris, and elsewhere this season, but it is also inside our homes, being used as a light, romantic design statement.
Vogue reports that as far as 2025, nine times out of ten, fashion is all about ruffled hems, scalloped edges, and embroidered lace details. Meanwhile, interior designers are sewing broderie anglaise into curtains, bedding, and tablecloths, demonstrating that this fabric is by no means limited in its usage to clothing.
Reason It has Returned
Broderie anglaise includes the ideal way of harmonizing the past and contemporary elegance. In the fashion world, fabrics are an expression of femininity with minimal fuss-airy to wear in the summer and polished to be used in the trans-seasonal dressing styles. In interiors, it adds a touch of softness which is ever fashionable, complementing the neutral or rustic wood.
It is also very photogenic- Instagram worthy as both an outfit selfie and a flawlessly decorated dining table photo. It is no surprise, then, that it is being adopted by brands like Zimmermann, Miu Miu, and Reformation, and in the home retail market, by the likes of Anthropologie and Zara Home–both of which have created broderie-inspired collections of their own.
