13 chic broderie anglaise dresses for a new season wardrobe update
Pretty, versatile midi and maxi dresses to see you through spring and summer
Broderie anglaise dresses remain a staple in our summer wardrobes every year. The pretty design became popular in England in the 19th century, although it's thought to have originated in the Czech Republic many years before. This needlework technique combines embroidery, cutwork and needle lace to create the beautiful, delicate lace fabrics we know and love.
The vintage-inspired fashion has cemented its place as a British summertime staple, and it's not going out of style any time soon.
To help you find the perfect broderie anglaise dress this year, we hit the high street to look for our favourites. Our top picks feature everything from classic white broderie anglaise dresses to bold pink designs and include midi and maxi styles.
What to wear with a broderie anglaise dress
Our love for a broderie anglaise dress comes down to its versatility. Pair it with everything from box-fresh white trainers to chunky sandals. Add a pair of platform heels to elevate your midi for a wedding or team with espadrilles and embrace the romantic, vintage summer time style.
The beauty of a broderie anglaise dress is that it makes a statement all on its own, so you can opt for a bucket bag or a raffia clutch to elevate the summery vibes with ease. Add statement jewellery to take your broderie look from day to night.
