Guimarães Whitework

Guimarães whitework is a form of decorative needlework that derives from Guimarães in northern Portugal. It is a sub-group of Guimarães embroidery. Guimarães whitework was used to decorate both men and women’s clothing (especially chemises, shirts and waistcoats), as well as household items, such as curtains and towels.
