Pink Floral Stripe Arcadia Girl Hand-Smocked Dress

Heritage is at the heart of La Coqueta, with Founder and Creative Director Celia Muñoz drawing inspiration from her Spanish roots and the traditional clothing she grew up in. Renowned for rich embroidery, intricate hand smocking, statement collars, and decorative detailing, each collection celebrates elaborate craftsmanship balanced with timeless elegance. The Arcadia Girl Hand-Smocked Dress is an iconic La Coqueta silhouette, returning season after season with subtle updates for each new generation of wearers. Crafted from pure cotton, this heirloom-style dress features a panelled yoke adorned with covered button detailing and exquisite hand-smocked embroidery across the empire-line waist, finished with geometric and floral motifs in contrasting thread. It is decorated with an exclusive print, meticulously designed in-house at our Notting Hill studio. Inspired by vintage botanical illustrations, delicate stripes and floral motifs were first hand-rendered before being digitally refined and printed in Spain in small fabric runs, resulting in a soft, painterly pattern in dusty pink and ivory hues that perfectly complements the feminine design. Short capped puff sleeves, a charming Peter Pan collar, and a floaty skirt complete the silhouette, while covered buttons at the back and an oversized self-tie bow allow for easy dressing and a beautifully adjustable fit. Coordinate with a baby sister wearing the Arcadia Baby Girl Hand-Smocked Dress Set for those adorable, picture-perfect moments. Layer up with La Coqueta’s luxuriously soft knitwear for cooler evenings, and pair it with buttery soft Nappa leather shoes in a range of seasonal shades like the Girl T-Bars and Girl Mary Janes. Explore the wider range of timeless dresses this season, including stunning smocked silhouettes and painterly floral prints.
