upholstery
- Le tissu sera anglaisé au droit de ses fixations ou, avec l’accord du General Contractor, posé avec galon assorti au coloris du tissu
(with reference to the upholstery used on chairs). My dictionary charmingly translates the term as 'to nick a horse's tail'. Somehow I don't think that's quite right here....

In case anyone has not clicked on the above link, as I often don't, and/or has not read it in full (particularly my bit!), note that the correct spelling is anglésé from the verb ANGLÉSER which you should find in any good dictionary near you. Or coming soon.

Tony M
: While this ugly term might conceivably be appropriate in a linguistic context (as show in your refs.), I feel certain it is not the correct term in the quite different context here (upholstery) / BTW, the more usual term is 'anglicized'.

: I concur with Tony - It seems to be a specialised term here.

Broderie Anglaise
It's to do with the edging of a fabric and I remember my late mother using the term 'broderie anglaise' to describe lacy edging. This is not quite a shot in the dark, but it seems somehow logical that this may be the same kind of thing. See URL

What it is
This term has come up on ProZ before, but seems to have vanished into the ether.
It refers to a way of making neat straight lines by folding fabric over a piece of cardboard inside it.
Carton à anglaiser
Bande de carton de 1,5 cm de largeur et environ 1,50m de longueur. Clouée sur l'envers d'un tissu (tissu de finition du siège), elle permet lorsque l'on rabat le tissu d'obtenir un bord bien droit. Pour le haut d'un dossier par exemple, ou dans une feuillure.

| That's it!!! BUT - is there a concise English term? How about 'the fabric will be finished off with an edging strip'?? |
