Product Insights
A Contemporaine exclusive, this scalloped collar and broderie anglaise shirt in organic cotton poplin evokes 16th-century whitework and Victorian heirloom traditions, yet its anti-cling, ventilated fabric and opaque white assure modern comfort and coverage. The delicate embroidery and scalloped edges demand careful washing and air-drying to preserve their crispness, but at under half the price of comparable organic alternatives and currently on sale, it offers rare value for an exclusive Simons design.
Verified claims
- Scalloped detailing
- Scalloped collar and hem signal heirloom quality and blouse identity.
- Fabric
- 100% organic cotton poplin keeps scalloped edges crisp.
- Exclusive design
- Exclusive Simons design pairs scalloped trim with broderie anglaise.
- Heritage
- Rooted in 16th-century European whitework, Victorian scalloped edges, and Swiss Schiffli machine embroidery.
- Care
- Preserving embroidery requires washing inside out in cold water, air-drying, and ironing face-down.
- Styling
- Manage the boxy silhouette and broderie details by half-tucking the front into high-waisted bottoms, pairing it with warm neutral or tonal white trousers or a midi skirt, using the asymmetrical button fold, and anchoring the look with leather accessories.
- Value
- Sale at $29.95, exclusive in-house design, on-trend broderie.
- Price comparison
- At the $29.95 CAD sale price, this shirt is less than half the sale price of the organic cotton Komodo RIO and about a third the price of the non-organic Creative DeZigns Pearl Cotton blouse.
- Sale pattern
- Another Contemporaine broderie anglaise blouse is also marked down from $79 to $29.95.
- Exclusivity
- Exclusive Simons design with boxy fit and scalloped edges, rare at this price.
- Washing
- Machine wash cold with similar colours, inside out, in a mesh bag, and avoid bleach.
- Drying
- Air-dry flat to maintain the shape of the broderie anglaise embroidery.
- Ironing
- Iron inside out on a thick towel to keep the embroidery stitches raised.
- Storage
- Store folded to prevent stretching the delicate embroidery motifs.
- Breathability
- Anti-cling poplin with enhanced wicking and eyelet ventilation keeps skin cool and dry.
- Sheerness
- The white organic cotton poplin is described as slightly sheer, but the broderie anglaise embroidery and dense weave generally prevent it from being see-through; similar Contemporaine broderie anglaise shirts are reported wearable without a camisole.
- Design details
- Features double scallop and broderie anglaise, historically heirloom details.
- Button placket
- The shirt has a full button placket with shiny tone-on-tone buttons.
- Length and crop
- The shirt is deliberately cropped and shorter in the body, making it well suited to high-waisted trousers, skirts, and shorter torsos.
- Sizing consistency
- Reviewers are divided on sizing: some say it runs small, some say it runs large, while one petite reviewer found it a perfect fit.

Scalloped collar broderie anglaise shirt
Lovely light shirt, perfect for summer days. Looks nice with high waist pants or skirts.
Je recommande ce vêtement
La chemise en broderie anglaise à col festonné est un incontournable estival qui allie parfaitement charme romantique et modernité urbaine. Le mariage des broderies ajourées et du col festonné apporte un relief artisanal délicat. Sa coupe carrée et légèrement écourtée restructure la silhouette avec élégance et sublime une jupe longue. J’apprécie sa conception en popeline de coton qui reste fraîche et légère pour les journées d'été.
