Broderie Anglaise (French, "English Embroidery") is a whitework needlework technique incorporating features of embroidery, cutwork and needle lace that arose in England in the 19th century.
Initially, Broderie Anglaise was characterised by patterns composed of small holes or eyelets bound with overcast or buttonhole stitches. This style of Broderie Anglaise bed linen was developed later and also features small embroidered floral patterns worked in satin stitch making it an utterly gorgeous style of embroidered bed linen, complete with a scalloped edge.
