We love dresses that are bold, feminine and comfortable, intended to brighten your mood, whether for everyday wear or a special occasion!
This design is named after Coco Chanel - a style pioneer who liberated us from corsets and introduced feminist thinking and freedoms to fashion. So whilst it has all the vintage feels, the Coco Dress has been tailored for modern life.
- Classic fit and flare silhouette with darts at front and back waist and bust
- Neatly fitted to the body, yet not tight - it hugs on the ribs but flows over the actual tummy so you still have room to move, sit and eat!
- Pleated A-Line skirt, to the knee.
- Cap sleeves.
- Gently scooped neck.
- Zipper opening at back.
- Pockets in side seams.
Vintage fabric in as excellent preloved condition. Cotton with a small poly component, often these textiles are 82% Cotton 18% Poly.
Handwash or machine wash on delicates cycle only, inside a wash bag, using phosphate free detergent. Dry on a coathanger and you may not need to iron.
One of a kind/limited edition. Handmade partly in my studio along with a small sewing business in Sydney's inner west.
