The toque blanche sits at the top, the classic poofy chef hat with smooth black outline stitching and that characteristic fold along the brim. Three full roses cluster at the base where the hat meets the band, the biggest one front and centre with two smaller blooms on either side. Proper botanical detail runs through all three, spiral petal layers visible at the centre, leafy serrated edges around the bouquet. The whole thing sits naturally like the flowers are tucked right into the hat band, its a clean combination that doesnt look forced.
Single black thread throughout, zero colour changes, 30 trims on the 5-inch and 40 on the 7-inch. Stitch count runs from 13,142 to 18,314 across the 3 sizes. Its all outline work so the density stays moderate even with all that rose detail, the lines are thick enough to read clearly but not so packed that the fabric distorts. Hoop with a soft cutaway behind woven cotton and it lays flat without any puckering around the curved hat brim.
Chef coats are the obvious use and it looks genuinely good on them, the white-on-white situation where the black outline pops off a crisp white jacket is really clean. A customer messaged me a while back saying she runs a cooking school and had this stitched onto student aprons as end-of-term gifts. She ordered it at the 6-inch size, it fit perfectly on an apron bib, the roses added a personal touch that made them feel more special than plain branded ones. Thats exactly the kind of thing this design does well.
Stitch onto ivory or cream fabrics for best contrast. Skip dark backgrounds, a black outline on navy or black reads poorly. Use a no-show mesh on woven cotton or linen apron fabric and the outline comes out with clean edges. Hoop tight on the 7-inch version. Email me if the stitch test has any gaps on the rose petals and ill fix it fast.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
