Embroidered Long Dress

The knotted straps are the most versatile element of the piece. Try them at shoulder height for a classic look, or let the knot fall slightly for a more bohemian and relaxed touch. A small adjustment completely changes the fit and feel of the look.

The ruching on the bust doesn't need adjustment — the elastic naturally distributes the fabric on the body. If you feel it's too ruched, gently pull the straps upwards; if you want more volume in the area, slightly loosen it. The dress itself finds the balance.

Broderie anglaise has a character of its own - it naturally combines with natural materials such as rattan, straw, and linen. A wicker bag, nude leather sandals, or a straw hat elevate the look without competing with the fabric. Avoid overly structured or shiny accessories.

The inner lining means you don't have to worry about underwear showing — but your bra choice can make a difference in the fit. For adjustable straps, a thinly-padded bustier or bralette is the ideal pairing: it provides structure without interfering with the dress's silhouette.

Broderie anglaise is delicate by nature – holes can snag with friction. Always wash cold on a delicate cycle or by hand, inside a laundry bag. Dry flat or hang carefully. Iron on reverse at a low temperature. Treated this way, it will last for years without losing its texture.
