Artisanal craftspeople in Spain bring La Coqueta’s Elara Girl Hand-Smocked Dress to life, imbuing it with the meticulous finishes and heirloom-quality detail our collections are renowned for. Crafted from lightweight, breathable cotton, it is adorned with a charming strawberry and floral motif print in soft red, green and blue hues set against an ivory base, striking the perfect balance between playful and timeless. The dress gently nips in at the shirred waist before falling into a long, floaty skirt that moves beautifully with every step, creating a classic fit-and-flare silhouette. A square neckline is framed with delicately pleated frill trims, while short puffed sleeves gathered at the cuffs add soft volume and romantic appeal. Intricate panels of hand-smocked embroidery across the bodice showcase exceptional artisanal skill, finished with contrasting red thread for a refined, decorative touch. Fully lined in pure cotton for all-day comfort, the Elara Dress fastens neatly at the back with signature mother of pearl buttons. A truly special piece for summer occasions and treasured moments alike, it coordinates beautifully with the Renata Baby Girl Hand-Smocked Set for picture-perfect sibling styling.

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.
