Broderie anglaise may seem too casual for a work environment, but when teamed with the right separates it can easily be made office-appropriate. Avoid anything too sheer, for obvious reasons (or layer over a camisole), and keep the rest of your look pared back.

The delicate fabric of broderie anglaise lends itself perfectly to event dressing. Take it from casual to formal with your accessories – a statement shoe or clutch will lift the whole outfit.
