Italian term

ricami superposé

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
I'm not sure what term is generally used in English for this term. Although I've found I few sites with "superimposed" or "superposé" embroidery, they are very few, so I'm sure there must be a better term. Any know/have any ideas? Conxtext:

"Raffinati ***ricami superposé*** si posano su georgette in seta con delicate e svolazzanti applicazioni in raso."

Thanks!

You mean you'd have to deal with "appliqué" twice? Juggle it about ... "delicate flights of satin appliqué embroidery are a refined touch on this silk georgette"?

appliqué embroidery

Sounds like you don't embroider the actual cloth, which is too delicate, but you attach ready-embroidered trim (appliqués).

Hi Angela, thanks it sounds right to me too - thanks. I'm just having some problems with how to make the sentence work - today is definitely an off day for me!
Exactly, thanks Angela for coming to my aid again, I really am not with it today!
