My favourite cocoon dress

I live in a warm climate and so a cocoon dress is a great shape to wear.

This dress has an elegant shape and is not overly full, and so is flattering I think on any shape. It is a simple construction, with lovely details such as the curved hem line and patch pockets.

It looks great worn in the daytime with flats, perfect for shopping or lunching with friends. It can be dressed up for the evening  with heels and a statement necklace,  depending on the fabric chosen. I have made a few of these, all in linen because it suits the dress so well and holds the shape.

This is a dress that I do not think that I will tire of and it is great to pack for a holiday!
