Broderie Anglaise

This is a lovely pattern and I see why it would look good in broderie anglaise. However, I want to sound a word of caution. In my experience, the stitching on the fabric means that it doesn't always drape or gather well, and needs a simple pattern.

I'd suggest a few gathering stitches on the fabric and hang it on your model or over a chair to see how it seems, before you cut it.

Hope it does work well for you!

Ooh that would be beautiful, however I agree with AnnieRose I don’t think it will gather well. There is an option to make the blouse without the peplum which would be really nice and because it isn’t fitted it would drape from your bust.

This is a really helpful thread as I have some broderie anglais that I am wanting to sew up this summer and have been wondering what to make. I think I’ll go for the Tammy Handmade Faye blouse. I’m going to line the bodice with a cotton lawn and because I can get it on over my head, I’m just going to stitch the buttons straight through the plackets and skip the button holes!

Last year I made beautiful set using broderie anglaise in cobalt blue

Used New Look 6217 and Simplicity 1887

Top is finishing at high hip and skirt had a bit of gathering at the back and flat front (and big pockets)

i cut front and back of the top using scalloped edge instead of hem and i self drafted cuffs (basically the same width as a grow on sleeve and attached using 5/8 of seam allowance.

I don't have a pic of me on my phone, but there is pinned reel on my Insta with this set.

I feel like a million bucks in this set.

For wearing as a set I tuck in top, when I wore it with wide leg jeans I did partial tuck at front and when I wore it with black wide leg trousers I wore it untucked.

Its simple but it allows for verisility.

Skirt is lined with light weight cotton

the pattern requires interfering on a front of the waistband, so I cut out with tiny embroidery scissors all the holes so interfering is not visible (I know I am crazy)

That’s love Agatha. What about the Bakerloo Blouse, or one of my favourites, the Ginny Top, by Elle Stitch?
