Among the trendy dresses for summer-fall 2024, the Sangallo lace dress stands out, an ancient craft, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in Switzerland in the 18th century (in the town of St. Gallen, where it takes its name). Delicate and very elegant, it is one of the most beloved embroideries in the fashion world, used from haute couture to the most casual outfits.
In the early years, St. Gallen lace was hand-embroidered on linen, which was gradually replaced by cotton. Since 1850, machine embroidery has appeared, but manual production has developed in parallel; and it is this that has fascinated many designers who are looking for broderie anglaise for their creations: in the 40s and 50s, it was Cristobal Balenciaga and Christian Dior, then Christian Dior.

A symbol of purity and refinement, Sangallo lace (also known as broderie anglaise), marked the romantic era of punk in the 70s and then the gothic wave of the 80s.
One of the great strengths of sangallo lace is its versatility, as Anne Hathaway has worn it. The sheer fabric paired with lingerie gives it a more relaxed, casual feel, perfect for showing off on those fall days from the beach to the office.
