With Summer just around the corner, it's the perfect time to freshen up your wardrobe with some gorgeous Eco-friendly Summer dresses. I've rounded up some of my favorite ethically made frocks for beach season. You can look amazing and be Eco-conscious with these stunners. I am pleased to bring you 7 Eco-friendly Summer dresses!
I'm obsessed with everything Synergy makes, but their Eco-friendly Summer dresses are my favorites! I adore this California-based brand and their elegantly Eco pieces. Made with organic cotton and low-impact dyes in Nepal (in accordance with fair trade practices), this semi A-line dress features a gorgeous hand-sewn angel-wing appliqué that looks so beautiful and intricate up close. The fabric feels like pyjamas but the look is all dress! This can be dressed up with heels and a shrug or down with simple sandals and beachy hair! Simple and versatile, this is one of my go-to Summer dresses.
