If your main concern is the environment, you can shop for organic cotton dresses (perfect for daytime and summer), or if you’re worried about sweatshops and fair trade, then shop for Fairtrade cotton dresses.  If you’re green to the core you can even try dresses made out of hemp or bamboo jersey!  If you’re vegetarian, you can shop for natural vegan silk dresses that are perfect for the evening and special occasions – it makes a great talking point too.  If you’re passionate about encouraging British design or local industry then you can shop ethical brands that are made in the UK, making sure your dress will be eco-friendly and fairly produced.
