Product Insights
The Angelina Broderie Anglaise Shirt by Second Female is a loose-fit, sheer eyelet shirt that requires a camisole, yet its ventilating cutwork and robust fabric offer durability and machine-washability. Its five sizes (XS–XL) provide a more precise fit than dual-size competitors, but the non-stretch cotton and proportional yoke mean sizing down compromises the intended drape. Priced at CA$142, it sits below the pricier Miss June Mira and above budget options, offering a unique loose silhouette. The black reinterpretation of a whitework heritage persists, but the raised embroidery snags on jewelry, necessitating smooth camisoles and careful handling to preserve the texture.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Loose fit provides room for a camisole and for movement with non-stretch cotton.
- Size range
- Five sizes (XS-XL) offer more precise fit than dual-size competitors.
- Sheerness
- The sheer fabric with open eyelets requires a camisole, which the loose fit accommodates.
- Care
- Machine washable; no dry cleaning needed.
- Yoke
- V-yoke stabilizes shoulder seams and distributes fabric weight for a clean drape.
- Sizing
- Offered in five sizes XS–XL; sizing down alters proportions, especially in the sleeves and yoke, compromising the intended relaxed drape.
- Fabric
- Eyelet fabric is ventilating and robust; the black colorway reinterprets whitework tradition.
- Value
- At CA$142, it's below the €190 Miss June Mira and above €30 Les Copains, with a unique loose shape.
- Washing
- Machine wash on gentle cycle with a mesh bag to protect embroidery.
- Drying and storage
- Lay flat to dry and fold for storage to prevent damage to cutwork.
- Ironing
- Iron reverse side with a press cloth to preserve embroidered texture.
- Snag risk
- Embroidery may snag on jewelry or rough surfaces; handle with care.
- Practical advantages
- Cutwork eyelets ventilate, the garment is durable and machine-washable, and care tips preserve embroidery.
- Heritage & style
- Traditionally whitework, now in black, continuing a heritage from the 1800s to 1950s.
- Caveats
- The cutwork makes the shirt sheer and the embroidery can snag on jewelry.
- Sleeve length
- The Angelina has wide elbow-length sleeves that offer more coverage than a standard short sleeve and create a softer, more relaxed arm opening.

Compared within this brand.
| Angelina Broderie Anglaise Shirt: Choose this if you want a loose, boxy black blouse in 100% cotton with broderie anglaise eyelet cutouts, a chevron-pintuck yoke, gathered body, and wide elbow-length sleeves with a button front. Keep in mind the thin fabric is sheer, the cutouts reveal skin or underlying layers, and the shirt has no lining, so plan your underlayers accordingly. It comes in Black in sizes X-Small through X-Large.[1,2,3,4] | Savoya Contrast Lace Blouse: Choose this if you want a romantic, semi-sheer lace blouse: it has a tulle lace overlay with a contrast floral pattern, cascading ruffle flutter sleeves, scalloped eyelash edges at the sleeves, neckline and hem, and an officer collar with a keyhole opening closed by a fabric-covered button. It comes with a built-in satin cami lining (100% polyester, adjustable straps) that covers the bodice, but note the lace stays sheer above the bust and across the upper back, where skin can show through the open mesh. It is offered in Taupe in sizes X-SMALL through X-LARGE, with a lace shell of 65% polyamide and 35% polyester.[5,6,7] | Vari Striped Pink Poplin Shirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight, 100% cotton poplin shirt with a loose, relaxed fit, long sleeves, pleated buttoned cuffs, and a pink-with-dark-vertical-stripes look. It fits true to size according to one listing, and pairs with matching Vari trousers sold separately if you want a coordinated set.[8,9,10] |
