Broderie Anglaise Shirred Top White

Shirring is one of the oldest forms of textile gathering and on broderie anglaise, it becomes something beautiful . The Shirred Top is gathered through the body, creating a texture-on-texture effect where the open-weave of the broderie meets the soft gathered rows of elasticated shirring. A wide boat neckline frames the collarbone and shoulders with a graceful, unfussy line. 

Tie fastenings at both sides allow you to adjust the silhouette. A top that looks considered from across the room and is tactile from close up. Available in White, Black, and Palm Green, made from UK deadstock cotton by Isabelle and her North-West atelier.
