Stay cool and feminine with lace. Vintage look for warm days

"Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony" - Coco Chanel

Fine, elegant, breezy and simple Broderie Anglaise looks good at any age. It's a form of white on white cutwork embroidery that doesn't rely on the weave of the fabric. Instead, the foundation fabric is cut, to make decorative holes, with their edges overcast to create a lace-like effect.
Ideal in Summer, best on cotton or linen, it can have geometrical or floral patterns. Scalloped edges, finished with buttonhole stitch, are a typical feature.
