English term

appliqués (this is in English-please read explanation)

English to French Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Art, paints
Just want to know if the word appliqués (which is used here as if it were an English term) is written the same way in French or if in French it should be written without the accent, as Appliques. This is something that people put on their clothes similar to a patch.
The whole phrase reads in English: Adheres appliqués, lace and decorative accents.

Because there is a word in front of it you should use appliques (word), I think....
Jocelyne Cuenin Feb 10, 2012:
appliqué(s) avec un accent. C'est plus court pour motif appliqué (participe passé adjectivé). // A la place de dire un "motif appliqué", on dit simplement un appliqué.
yves la Feb 10, 2012:
Appliques is a word and means in french Wall lamp (something you put on the wall); appliqués is past tense and I really don't understand what it means in this context; it's probaly a specific word used for clothing.

Thank you. However I want to know if in French you write the word Appliqué or Applique for this kind of thing.
yves la Feb 10, 2012:
