Product Insights
The Broderie Anglaise Pyjama Set by Miiyu x Twik, a Simons-exclusive collaboration with a Japanese name meaning 'beautiful', is priced at $69 (available at 57% off for $29.95, undercutting alternatives like Gap and Nora Rose) and made from 97% recycled polyester from plastic bottles with 3% spandex, being vegan. The set adopts a cropped boxy silhouette instead of a classic collared shirt, with semi-sheer fabric across all colorways that requires gentle washing to avoid damage; sizing can be taken as usual for a relaxed fit or sized up for looser. Heritage broderie anglaise, originating from Victorian whitework and popularized by Bardot, is machine-made affordable, with white evoking tradition and pastels offering a modern twist.

Deep Research
What broderie anglaise brings to this pyjama set
- Broderie anglaise's intricate eyelets and breathable cotton base have historically linked it to holiday dressing and heirloom charm — worn as a pyjama set, it transfers that vacation-house ease directly to bedtime.
- While early broderie anglaise was entirely hand-embroidered, the technique has been machine-produced since the 1870s, which is why this $30 CAD set can feature ornate eyelet detailing without a handcraft markup.
- Broderie anglaise was the defining trim for women's underclothing and children's wear between 1840 and 1880, so decorating a pyjama set in this technique continues a sleepwear-specific heritage that reaches back to the Victorian dressing room.
- Brigitte Bardot chose a gingham dress trimmed with broderie anglaise for her 1959 wedding, turning the needlework into a symbol of gamine insouciance — that cinematic cool still clings to the technique, giving this set a soft, screen-siren undertone.
- Broderie anglaise originated as a whitework technique — white embroidery on a white ground — and the White colourway of this set leans directly into that crisp, classic tradition, while the baby blue, pink, and peach options adapt the eyelet texture to a more playful sleepwear palette.
How the price compares to similar broderie anglaise sets
- At $29.95 CAD, the Miiyu two-piece set costs less than the Gap Embroidered PJ Shirt on sale for $44.99 CAD — a cotton top with allover embroidery — meaning the set effectively undercuts the price of a single comparable sleepwear piece by about 33%.
- Unlike the 100% cotton construction typical of budget broderie anglaise sets — such as the boohoo option — the Miiyu set is made from a recycled polyester blend, offering a vegan, lower-maintenance alternative without pushing the price above the entry-level $29.95 CAD mark.
- The Nora Rose Audrey Embroidered Pyjama Set, a 100% cotton two-piece with floral embroidery, retails for $52 CAD on sale — making the Miiyu set approximately 42% cheaper at $29.95, while shifting the aesthetic to broderie anglaise eyelet patterning.
- The Miiyu set originally sold for $69 CAD, a launch price already below the $116 CAD full retail of the Nora Rose Audrey set; the current $29.95 sale represents a 57% reduction, exceeding the 55% discount on that cotton set and making it one of the steepest markdowns in the broderie anglaise pyjama space.
- The Miiyu set includes flower-shaped buttons, a boxy cropped shirt, and slant pockets with drawcord waist — details rare in budget broderie anglaise sets — whereas the boohoo competitor defaults to a classic collared shirt, adding boutique polish to a fast-fashion price.
The Miiyu x Twik exclusive design story
- The brand name Miiyu translates to 'belle' (beautiful) in Japanese, as stated in the 2007 trademark application by La Maison Simons, lending a subtle cross-cultural elegance and femininity to the pyjama set's design identity.
- The Miiyu x Twik label is a collaboration between two of Simons' own in-house brands—romantic Miiyu and casual, denim-focused Twik—so the set's design is a proprietary mix that can't be found anywhere else, making it an exclusive Simons creation.

Q&A
4 answered- Does the cropped boxy fit shirt run true to size, or should I size up for a more relaxed fit?
- The shirt is designed with a slightly cropped boxy fit, so it's meant to have a relaxed silhouette. We recommend ordering your usual size for the intended look, or sizing up if you prefer an even looser, more oversized feel.
- What are the recommended care instructions? Can it be machine washed and dried, and should the embroidery be handled delicately?
- Machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and hanging to dry is recommended for this set. To protect the broderie anglaise embroidery, turn the pieces inside out and use a lingerie bag; avoid high heat in the dryer to prevent shrinkage and damage to the delicate stitching.
- Is the fabric sheer or see-through, especially the areas with broderie anglaise embroidery?
- The lightweight recycled polyester fabric with broderie anglaise is likely semi-sheer, especially on the embroidery areas where the cutout patterns create openness. It's not fully opaque, so you may want to wear a camisole underneath if modesty is a concern.
- How durable is the broderie anglaise embroidery after multiple washes? Does it tend to snag or unravel?
- Broderie anglaise embroidery is generally durable if cared for properly, but it can be prone to snagging on rough surfaces or zippers. After multiple gentle washes, the embroidery should hold up well; however, aggressive washing or drying may cause threads to loosen, so handling with care extends its lifespan.
