Pastel by Vivienne Women's Cocoon Midi Dress with Pocket

This is a great versatile dress. I like everything about it: it’s wrinkle resistant, packs, well, doesn’t need ironing, machine, washable, forgiving fabric and available great color choices.So glad I bought two.I purchased a large.

This dress is very "artsy" with its lantern shape and diagonal seam near the bottom. It's hard to see in the picture but the hem is straight but 8"-10" above the hem there is a seam there, on there diagonal, that gives the dress more character and style. The jersey fabric is soft and stretchy but not slick or shiny. The Denim color is slightly more of a gray-blue than what shows on my monitor. I am 5' 3 & 3/4", about 140 lbs and curvy with a bit of a (lower) tummy. I usually wear a medium in most things but after reading reviews, decided to order a large. The Large fits perfectly. Dress does stretch across the bustline but is not too tight or revealing. The arms fit snuggly, but not tight, due to the stretch of the fabric. Surprisingly, even with the tension of the fabric at the bustline, it does not show bumps, bulges, ripples or bra line much. It is a forgiving fabric for sure. Due to my height, the hemline hits me lower on the leg than the on the models. Think this will be a great traveling dress. It shouldn't wrinkle much and should dry fast if washed and hung to dry. This dress has a lot of style and looks more expensive than it is. Try this dress! You won't be sorry.

I'm 5'8 and 150 pounds. Cup A. I got several of these dresses in different colors, in size S and M. I found the M, compared to S, a bit too long. It's a midi dress, so it is generally not the most flattering length. But the M seemed to end exactly where my leg was the widest, hence making it even less flattering. The S still provides a lot of room everywhere - other than arm room. If your arms are bigger, you might opt for M to be more comfortable. Also if you are bustier. I love the dress. It's so comfortable. Love the pockets. Love all those color options. Another advice - get a darker color to prevent pajama look. The darker shades are a bit more elegant. Material is great. Washed well on delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry. Didn't shrink. I feel like some of the models on the pictures wear a wrong size of the dress. It looks so oversized and baggy all over. I didn't find that flattering. I think the style works, because it is relatively (but still comfirtably) tight on the top, and drapes down around the mid section and legs. But all baggy all over doesn't look right to me. Just my 2 cents. And btw. the review that said that women appreciate this look, but men not so much - I think there's a bit of truth with that one. I LOVE the dress though. Too many pros not to love it. It's awesome. And I'm getting two of them for my mom too.

I really like this dress. I got it in the white with red flowers in a Medium. It’s fitted around the bust area, loose around the waist, and fitted like a cocoon (or bubble) dress at the hemline. Adorable! Flattering. Not quite 5 stars, gave it 4 stars because it is somewhat see-through. I think that’s because it’s white, with flowers. I’m definitely reorder in Navy with flowers. Don’t hesitate on this one. Flattering and really cute, and this dress has a lot of class. I’ve washed it, on cold water, in my front loader, non-agitating washing machine and hung to dry a few times. It washes well! Looks fabulous!

I LOVE it! I privately wish it was cotton-rayon, but, ok, this is "value" dress....but it will do me well for the season and it helped me wear colors OTHER than dark brown, navy , black or grey! I am 130 pounds 5'6" and the large fit very drapey, just as I had hoped. For a more close fit I would have ordered a medium, but I wear it belted, so I wanted it bigger....I doubt if it will last more than a season wash and wear but I do plan on wearing it quite a bit! Love the pockets, but I CAN see where if you have a problem RIGHT where the pockets are, you might want to do what another rater did and cut them off and sew up the holes. But, I don't and love the pockets! Now I feel brave enough to order brighter colors....with clothes like this there's no reason to spend large amounts of money on A dress, when that dress will be "out" the next season any way, and I've been around long enough to know that style moves quickly ...so value clothes that I can move through quickly are for me now!!! Exactly like THIS dress....

I wear these dresses under my jackets and sweaters year round.

I bought this dress in black a couple years ago and wear it all the time. I recently bought one in purple and it’s beautiful, I get tons of compliments on it. I think it’s very forgiving for a big chest and wide hips, it isn’t too form fitting but it isn’t a big sack. Very flattering.

Everything about this dress is perfect. The color, the material thickness, the design, the comfort, the POCKETS! Super chick looking but also as comfortable as wearing jammies. This is going to be a go-to for me for years to come. Fits as expected.
