Baby Girl - Anaïs Liberty Floral Cotton Dress

The Anaïs belongs to cooler mornings: long sleeves, a quiet palette, the kind of dress that feels like the first day of autumn.

The Morning Misty Flowers Liberty print is a soft grey-beige scattered with tiny cream flowers, so muted and so fine that it reads almost as texture rather than pattern. Against this quiet ground, a single embroidered branch in cornflower blue runs across the front waist: flowers and buds trailing along a curving stem, hand-embroidered with real botanical detail.

The same branch motif continues at the back waist and along the tie, so that the embroidery wraps the whole dress in one continuous line, like a single drawing that never lifts its pen.

The Peter Pan collar and cuffs are cut from contrasting white cotton piqué, each edge traced with a delicate yet bold embroidered vine in the same blue. It is a small detail, but it is the one that makes the whole dress feel finished — crisp white against the soft grey, with just enough blue to tie everything together.

Inside the lining, in blue thread with a small heart in the same colour, a message has been hand-embroidered just for her: "This hand embroidered dress is unique and special, just like you."

And along the inside of the hem, a trim of white lace — the kind of finishing touch that exists simply because it should.

The hem has been cut generously so that when the time comes, it can be let down and worn a little longer. A dress this quietly elegant only gets better with time.

The Anaïs is for the baby girl whose quiet charm needs nothing more than beautiful details.
