Where to get a cocoon dress?

[christmaslatte]

I have a purple cocoon dress that I LOVE!

I can dress it up or down and it's so easy to wear. It's jersey material and it's basically a big tent! But in a good way

It's getting old and tatty and I want to get something similar but I can't find anything in my size - size 24 - except on websites I've never heard of that have terrible ratings on Trustpilot.

Anyone seen any nice plus size cocoon dresses out there?

Is this the kind of thing you mean?

I'm a charity shop manager and we've had some really nice Sahara things through in sizes 20+, they say it's 20-22 but they I'd say they're the same as a 24 easily (and that's second hand so they clearly don't shrink either!)

Sahara has exactly what you need. Look on eBay for bargains. Size 5 will fit nicely.

Yes! That's the kind of thing, thanks! I love these.

That website is out of my price range, but I didn't know you could call them bubble dresses and so that opens up a new way to search for them.

Definitely worth looking for them second hand, I'd never heard of them until a year ago but have been really impressed at how well they seem to last compared to other brands.

Are we SURE size 5 is a 24? The size guide says 20-22. It's years since I fitted in a 20!

Try Roman, I have had a couple of cocoon dresses from there.

I have visions of a pupa with legs.

Lagenlook also brings up that style.

I have no plans to pupate, honest. 🐛

Thanks. I'll bookmark for another time but sadly only a couple in my size at the moment.

I bought mine on ebay by typing in zanzea its the make of dress i already had and it brings up loads of nice chap clothing, not had anything bad from them yet

Have you looked at Kit & Kaboodle?

Sahara sizes are very forgiving. I can wear the 3 at my largest. The fabric is stretchy and weighty so it hangs well.

In your position I would try one on in the shop if possible or order online then return. Then start looking on eBay.
