A Sotela classic, the Cocoon dress is one of our original designs. It's minimal, functional, and above all, comfortable. Designed with a boat-neckline, pockets, and a 1" scoop hem, the Cocoon can be worn all day everyday.
Available in multiple fabrics.
Material and Care
1. Fabric: Linen in Black, Terra, and Cacao
Fiber Content: 100% Linen in 5.5 oz
Description: Linen is a natural fiber that has minimal environmental impacts. Given its properties, it's easy to love, maintain, and wash. Our medium-weight linen has a luxe hand feel that drapes beautifully with each design. We selected a slightly heavier weight than last year's linen to ensure your pieces last longer and do not pill or tear.
Care: Preshrunk and machine washable. Wash on normal with cool water. Tumble dry or hang dry (which we prefer). Linen wears over time and will soften with each wash.
2. Fabric: Lyocell / Linen Canvas in Camel
Fiber Content: 56% Lyocell ; 44% Linen
Description: This Lyocell / Linen blend is the best of both worlds. The Lyocell makes this fabric drape beautifully, while the linen provides structure, texture, and ease. The structure provided by the canvas makes it more substantial for winter compared to our previous tencel fabrics.
Care: Wash cold on delicate cycle and hang dry. The Earth and your garments will thank you!
2. Fabric: Brushed Organic Cotton Twill in Camel
Fiber Content: 100% Organic Cotton
Description: Organic cotton is a natural fiber that has minimal environmental impacts. Given its properties, it's easy to love, maintain, and wash. Our medium-weight cotton is brushed on both sides making it feel like fleece.
Care: Preshrunk and machine washable. Wash on normal with cool water. Tumble dry or hang dry (which we prefer).
3. Fabric: Tencel in Maroon
Fiber Content: 100% Tencel Twill in 5.8 oz
Description: A silky fabric that drapes and moves with your body. Made in a medium-weight matte finish, this Tencel has a subtle sheen only visible in light. Due to its weight, it wrinkles less than its lighter counterparts.
Care: Machine washable. Wash on delicate with cool water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry (which we prefer).
Tencel wears over time and will fade with repeated washing. If you prefer to maintain its color, we recommend hand washing and do not tumble dry.
