June update: I have taken delivery of a small order of Black Playsuits which now include a LONG length option. The other colours are still only available in the Petite and Medium lengths. This may be my last re-stock for quite a while!
A new take on our classic Playsuit, this time made from an organic cotton jersey with 5% Elastane, to ensure it keeps its shape for years to come. As with all of our playsuits, you throw it on like a dress and zip it up at the bottom; no need to fuss when you go to the toilet! The large pockets (that also keep their shape) keep the Playsuit practical.
Composition: 95% Organic Cotton / 5% Elastane.
A note about lengths
Unlike the Linen fabric, measuring a heavy stretch jersey is not as exact. There are also variations in the tension with which the fabric is rolled up in the factory. This means that it occurs that garment pieces, after cutting, slightly change shape (grow or shrink in length). We are talking very small amounts, but with our (very unusual) full-length stretchy Playsuits, this can extend to 1-2 inches of difference in length. If you would like your Playsuits rather longer than shorter, please store them by hanging them full length on a clothes hanger. If you would like to avoid this, please hang them folded on a trouser hanger or store them folded on a shelf.
You can see the Berry and Damson Playsuits in Ep. 98 of the Slow Wardrobe Podcast on Youtube, where I show and style them!

It was only a matter of time before I just had to find out if using our gorgeous stretchy jersey cotton on the Playsuit would work as well as the rest of the Cocoon line-up, and does it just! Here we are, the most comfortable, complimentary piece of clothing you have ever worn, made in shape-keeping jersey cotton that will last you for years. Honestly, what's not to like?
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.

Cocoon Playsuit Lengths
NOTE: length measurements are taken from the top of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem. The stretchy nature of the jersey leads to small variations so the length measurements are to be taken as approximate. They may vary by 1-2 inch, depending on how long they are left either folded or hanging.
