Inspired by the timeless styles Founder and Creative Director Celia Muñoz wore growing up in Granada, the Elsie Girl Empire Dress embodies La Coqueta’s devotion to artisanal craftsmanship and heritage. Expertly crafted from the softest, lightweight cotton, the dress is rendered in a painterly print conceived in-house at the Notting Hill studio. Drawing on vintage botanical illustrations, each delicate motif was first hand-sketched, then digitally refined and printed in small, considered runs in Spain. The resulting palette, soft green and blush pink florals set against a rich red ground is both romantic and effortlessly refined. The empire-line silhouette drapes into a long, floaty skirt that moves gracefully with every step, while layered butterfly sleeves create an ethereal, voluminous finish, subtly traced with wisps of French lace. A row of mother of pearl buttons and a self-tie bow at the back provide a perfectly tailored, heirloom-quality closure. Elegant yet playful, the Elsie Dress is designed to be treasured season after season, offering a sophisticated nod to heritage with every wear. Coordinate with a baby sister wearing the Elicia Baby Summer 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.
