6 Eco-Friendly & Gorgeous Dresses Under $100!

May 11, 2009

We all fight the temptation to buy summer dresses at Forever 21 and H&M.   And since we aren’t even close to perfect, sometimes we give in to the cheap thrill of bargain shopping.   Those purchases are usually like a one night stand; what seems so sexy and alluring at first leaves us with dissapointment and a killer hang over.   Let’s be honest here, H&M makes some adorable,   cheap,   easy… and simultaneously … throwaway,   unethical, and badly made (for the most part) shmatas!   So until H&M, Forever 21, Topshop, Delia’s, Strawberry and their minions go green, we’ll have to keep our eyes (mostly) on the online sale racks of our favorite eco designers! Why buy eco-friendly dresses?   Organic fabrics are better for the earth, better for your skin, better for people (no underage workers or scary factories), and more in line with your ethics, Sister.   Bonnie Siefers says; “Each organic fiber shirt you buy eliminates the use of 150 grams of agricultural chemicals. It takes approximately one pound of chemicals to grow three pounds of conventional cotton, while organic cotton is grown chemical free.”   Learn more here and here.   Go organic by selecting designs that use highly sustainable and earth-friendly materials like organic fibers, bamboo, and recycled fabrics.
