Cookie Vonn’s Fabulous Fashion Finds for Spring

By Kelly deVos
In Fat Girl on a Plane, Cookie Vonn’s grandma handed her a needle and thread at the tender age of five. Since then, all she’s wanted to do is to create fabulous fashion for people of all sizes. On her blog Roundish, she dishes advice on how to Slay at Any Size. Here are five of her fabulous
finds for this summer and spring.

For Fun
The Holy Grail Jacket $150
Sizing: XS-5X

What could be more fun that the Holy Grail Jacket from Shop Tuesday? It features three angels holding up a giant hotdog in a multi-layer felt and chenille embroidery extravaganza. The front boasts a mini dawg with an arrow through it and a single drip of mustard. It’s ethically sewn in
Los Angeles and, for an extra fee, can include custom embroidery.

For the Fan
Little Mermaid Romper $58.50
Sizing: M-6X

One of Cookie’s favorite books of 2018 was Sarah Henning’s SEA WITCH. Since then, she’s been in a bit of a Little Mermaid mood and in search of the perfect fan fashion. And viole! Here’s a comfy-looking lightweight romper with hand-sketched seashells, flutter sleeves and imitation-pearl buttons.

For the Festival
Virginia Dress $190
Sizing: Standard, Petite and Plus sizes

Coachella is coming and if you’re packing your suitcase, you’ll need to find something perfect to wear. Check out this gorgeous chiffon dress from Anthropologie. With a colorful print under each pleat, this dress is perfect for dancing and twirling.


For the Farmer’s Market
Scoop Neck Navy Jumpsuit $32.99
Sizing: X-4X

A relaxed fit jumpsuit that lets you get out the door quick without sacrificing style, this is the perfect look to pair with some wedges and hit the farmer’s market. Also pairs nicely with those Arnold Palmers or Mimosas at brunch.

As Ruffles Ripple Maxi Dress $149
