This Broderie Anglaise Tee is a women's short-sleeve casual top from the exclusive Icône by Simons collection designed in Canada, made from 100% organic cotton jersey. It features all-over floral openwork with tone-on-tone broderie anglaise eyelet embroidery, a crew neck gathered at the back, gathered cap sleeves, and scalloped edging at the sleeves and hem. The tee has a straight, boxy fit that falls at the hip and is suitable for everyday wear.

Product Insights
The Broderie Anglaise Tee by Icône bridges 16th-century hand-cut needlework with modern cottagecore, echoing the style of Bardot and Birkin. Its core promise is heritage-inspired design—scalloped edges, gathered back, cap sleeves—at a sale price of $19.99 CAD, undercutting competitors like Ganni and White Stuff by up to 90%. Breathability is double that of polyester (MVTR up to 5000 g/m²/24h), and the organic cotton jersey runs true to size or can be sized up for a looser fit. The main tradeoff is the delicate openwork and scalloped edging, which require gentle machine washing and hang drying to prevent snagging, despite being overstitched for durability.
Verified claims
- History
- The floral broderie anglaise openwork on this tee descends from a 16th-century Eastern European hand-cut needlework tradition.
- Cultural associations
- Associated with Brigitte Bardot's 1959 gingham broderie-anglaise-trimmed wedding dress and Jane Birkin's 1970s broderie anglaise tops; the look has been revived by cottagecore.
- Characterization
- Described as a robust, scaled-up version of lace.
- Breathability
- The 100% organic cotton jersey fabric typically has a moisture vapor transmission rate of 3000–5000 g/m²/24h, roughly double polyester's rate.
- Fit
- Runs true to size or size up for looser; the cotton knit stretches for a natural fit.
- Shaping
- Gathered back and cap sleeves create a shaped, feminine silhouette without puff-sleeve volume.
- Scalloped edging
- Scalloped hem and sleeve edges use the pre-finished border, keeping edges lightweight and flat.
- Competitive pricing
- Sale price $19.99 CAD, undercutting Ganni ($320) and White Stuff ($68) by 90% and 70% respectively.
- Construction details
- Scalloped edging on hem and sleeves, a gathered back, and cap sleeves distinguish this tee from many comparable broderie anglaise styles at this price.
- Color
- The blue colourway shown is a medium blue with tone-on-tone embroidery, so it reads as a modern neutral rather than bridal white.
- Design detail
- Gathered back and cap sleeves with scalloped edges; openwork needs gentle care.
- Wash care
- Machine wash cold on gentle cycle and hang to dry; turn inside out to prevent snagging.
- Durability
- Scalloped edges are overstitched to prevent fraying, making the tee more durable than lace.
- Certification
- 100% organic cotton, but no GOTS certification; organic label covers only the raw fiber.
- Design integration
- Scalloped edge is formed by the eyelet pattern itself, creating a seamless finish.
- Heritage
- Scalloped edging on both hem and sleeves; more complete than Contemporaine's sleeve-only trim.
- Material
- 100% organic cotton jersey with scalloped broderie anglaise edges and breathable structure (MVTR up to 5000 g/m²/24h).
- Color accuracy
- Some buyers report the green arrived olive rather than the emerald shown online, and one found the yellow dull and almost beige.
- Fabric hand and neck opening
- Buyer experiences on the fabric vary: some find the cotton jersey light, while others describe it as too thick or rigid; one reviewer also found the head opening too small.

Warm-weather daytime casual wear
A go-to tee for casual warm-weather outings and daytime events, with breathable cotton that most reviewers find soft and cooling, plus feminine broderie anglaise embroidery. Sizing runs true to size for most, though the neck opening is narrow — worth factoring in if you have a larger head or limited mobility — and the length is slightly short on taller frames. Note that some batches use thicker, stiffer cotton that gives the tee a boxier look.[2]
Elevating jeans, skirts, and shorts
The broderie anglaise embroidery turns this basic short-sleeve tee into a put-together, dressed-up casual look, pairing easily with jeans, skirts, and shorts for warm-weather daytime outings. Keep in mind that while many reviewers found the cotton soft and breathable, some reported batches of thick, stiff fabric that make the tee boxy with sleeves that stick out.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Broderie Anglaise Tee: Choose this if you want a feminine tee for warm-weather, dressed-up casual outfits: its all-over broderie anglaise eyelet cutwork, scalloped sleeves and hem, and breathable 100% organic cotton pair easily with jeans, skirts, or shorts. It runs true to size for most reviewers, though the neck opening is narrow, which can make pulling it on difficult if you have a larger head, and the length is slightly short for taller frames. Note that some batches use thick, stiff cotton that makes the tee boxy with sleeves that stick out, and actual colors—especially yellow and green—can appear duller than the online photos.[1,2,3] | Ruffled Crocheted-Neck T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight, romantic top with a crocheted lace yoke, tiered chest ruffles, and loose flutter sleeves ending around the elbow. It is a slightly cropped, relaxed silhouette that falls just above the waist in 100% cotton, offered in Small and Medium in Off White or Brown. Note the fabric reads as slightly sheer in the lace area in image analysis, so consider that if opacity matters to you.[4,5,6,7] | Swiss Dot T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a versatile casual tee with a playful, all-over raised Swiss dot texture — customers found the whimsical pattern elevates a basic shirt, and one noted the cropped length flatters petite frames with shorter torsos without needing hemming. It is made of 70% polyester from recycled plastic and 30% rayon, with short sleeves, a crew neck, side slits, and a slight high-low hem. Note that reviewers report it runs extremely small with no stretch — size up at least one full size — and its short, boxy cut may disappoint those expecting a standard-length tee or look ill-fitting on taller frames.[8,9] |

Tissus de qualité mais trop rigide
La rigidité du tissu donne un drôle d'aspect aux manches courtes qui restent presqu'à l'horizontal. . . Aussi le jaune est très terne, presque beige.
Loved my fancy T-shirt! Good service and convenience.
I loved my fancy T-shirt. Nice to see Simons bringing bigger sizes for women! I bought the biggest size available, X-Large. Staff on the floor were helpful and friendly. I liked the convenience of the dressing room right next to Customer Service, try and decide.

Cute, but inaccurate colour website
The green that I received was olive, not the emerald shown on site. No idea how it fit, sinceI didn't even try it on since I disliked the colour of the actual shirt, but this review required a "true to size" rating.

There was blue pen marks on the shirt shoulder. I can't believe Simon's shipped the shirt out.

Intéressant pour la danse en ligne Intéressant aussi pour la saison chaude
Very pretty tee
This is a pretty tee that fits true to size and can work well with casual pants or with a flowing skirt. The capped sleeves add a bit of width at the shoulders which creates a good look for a small frame. Love that it is cotton, especially on hot days.
Very cute t shirt
Comfortable and great fit. True to size.
Beautiful
Beautiful shirt, really soft. Fits true to size. I sized up for a slightly oversized look and it's perfect.
Tissus ne se prête pas à cette broderie
Coton trop,épais, nuit à la beauté de la broderie, l,ouverture pour laisser passer la tête trop petite...Il y a coton élégant mais celui-ci trop épais, trop rustique ressemble au coton des tabliers de nos grand-maman..J,ai retourné le tout.
