arcadia smocked dress

Heritage is at the heart of La Coqueta, with Founder and Creative Director Celia Muñoz's designs developing from her Spanish roots and the traditional clothing she grew up in. Known for rich embroideries and hand smocking, heavy collars, and decorative details, every collection manifests in elaborate yet elegant designs. Crafted from BCI and OEKO-TEX-certified cotton and decorated with a charming red tartan check, the Arcadia Girl Hand-Smocked Dress is an iconic silhouette, perfect for the festive season. The bodice is shirred across the waist and finished with intricate honeycomb smocking and contrasting embroidery across the empire line waist, which is completed by hand and can take up to seven hours per dress. Special details include the short capped sleeves, a long, floaty skirt, and a charming Peter Pan collar traced with a black velvet trim for a statement finish. It fastens at the back with a button placket and is fully lined in pure cotton for extra comfort and coverage.
