Sustainable Event Wear

When it comes to event wear, there are many eco friendly choices you may consider.  You can buy a pre-loved gown or buy a one that was made from repurposed or recycled material.  Also it's important to find out how the item was made and from what materials. Are the materials organic, recycled, sustainable?  The most sustainable fabrics are natural and plant-based fibers including hemp, bamboo, organic cotton, linen or jute.  You may find these considerations save you money, be kinder to the earth and much more comfortable. After the event is over, there are ways you can continue the sustainable chain by donating, repurposing or recycling your event wear.

This little shop of mine blossomed out of my love for taking things old, used, and unwanted and creating something new and beautiful. It is extremely important to me to be eco-friendly and when you purchase an item from me you are getting a quality, handmade garment that had almost no impact on the Earth. I often even use vintage thread, make some of my dyes out of plants and roots, and re-use snaps, buttons, and zippers when possible.  


My dresses are not meant to be common. They are for people that are not afraid to be a bit different and stand out. They are the alternative to the mainstream foreign factory made dresses. Each piece I make is an original.

I'm Heather and I have a passion for Heirloom gowns! I have worked in the bridal alterations business for years and was so bothered by the waste created by standard gowns. I started Sunny Rose to combine my love of vintage heirloom gowns and my desire to cut down on waste in the bridal industry. I recycle and reclaim vintage gowns and create a new and beautifully modern gown for a future bride! I can't stand seeing a gown with so much potential waste away at thrift stores or turn into a bloody Halloween costume.
I love redesigning gowns for clients as well, and have worked on gowns almost a hundred years old!

Ethically made wedding gowns are beautiful inside and out.

Each one of Pure Magnolia's team members is passionate about what we do; not just about making pretty wedding dresses, it is easy to be passionate about that. We are passionate about creating a fashion industry that is good for our society, rather than one that profits from harming people and the earth. We stand for Ethical values in the fashion industry, fabric production, labor wages and conditions and responsible utilization of raw materials. We think that every fashion company, big or small, had a responsibility to society to make ethical choices that don’t just reflect the bottom line.


Patty created this company after seeing how much waste and how unethical the fashion, and specifically, wedding industry is. Patty wanted to make a difference, to make wedding gowns that brides were happy and proud to wear because they knew the people who made the dress, they knew the fabrics came from factories that were making ethical choices, they knew the bottom line was not the goal.

Loulette Bride provides the modern, non-traditional bride with a thoughtfully & beautifully designed dress, made with intergrity and responsibly in NYC. Loulette Bride was founded on principles of integrity in our design and responsibility in our design and manufacturing process. 

Having integrity means we only create original designs, and are incredibly proud of the product we create.  We value quality over quantity, and make sure every gown we create is as perfect as it should be, on our bride's most special day.

​

We know that the garment industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. So, we take responsibility in our manufacturing process very seriously. We use natural and organic fabrics as much as possible, and recycle every single fabric scrap to FabScrap. We produce locally by making our garments in our Brooklyn studio and in the New York City Garment District, eliminating transport of goods. By making our gowns to order, we avoid overproduction, one of the biggest issues of the garment industry.

I am inspired by the beauty that surrounds, by a time long since forgotten, yet still lingering in the recesses of the mind... by the intrinsic poetry that exists in our very souls. Having been creating wedding dresses and working with brides for over a decade all over the world, I am also inspired by... True Love. I wanted Raiment of White dresses to be pure from the fibre to the finishing, so I set out to find the purest, handcrafted linen and textiles available. Raiment of White dresses are made of the finest organic fabric, handcrafted by a small scale manufacturer who is dedicated to ethical practices. They grow and manufacture their %100 organic, chemical and sweatshop free materials. Needless to say they are committed to sustainable living and practices that enrich the environment and its creatures. This is just chapter 1 of Raiment of White. Our first collection                                 includes three timeless wedding gowns that can be cherished long after your vows. Each gown features delicate embroidered details all done using a free-hand embroidery technique. All of the dresses are made by me in my Northern Canadian studio, and I work together with my true love, my little dog Norman, and canary Sebastian who graces us with his masterful songs.

Passion for sustainable fashion

Laura Hyvi Bridal was born when the designer and founder of the company Laura Hyvi was designing her own wedding gown and searching for sustainable material alternatives. After discovering the world of vintage lace she immediately fell in love and it was clear to her that she wanted to create similar dresses to other conscious brides. The company is determined to offer sustainable wedding gown options and serve brides who want to make ethical and ecological choices without compromising style. 

The Designer

Laura Hyvi is a wedding dress designer whose never ending source of inspiration is vintage lace. “Every piece of vintage lace has it’s own story and the patterns and textures are one of a kind. Using vintage lace as our material we are able to create dresses that are work of art and reflect the brides personal style.”

Laura’s principle is creating fashion that is ecological and ethical. She mixes bohemian vintage lace to modern and elegant silhouettes.

Indiebride London takes pride in being a sustainable bridal wear brand. It is important for us to not just create beautiful bohemian wedding dresses but also to take our nature’s wellbeing in consideration. The most important dress of your life can be made respecting the environment and people on it. At Indiebride London, you will know who made your wedding dress and where the materials came from. All our dresses are made to order. This means we don’t hold any dresses in stock. When an order is placed, we will make the dress from scratch. This means we only make a dress when someone wants to wear it on their wedding day. This ensures that every dress we make has a personal connection. At Indiebride London, you work closely with the person that makes your dress. Instead of producing the dresses in a factory somewhere else, we make all our dresses ourselves from the first cut to the last finishings. Each dress and accessory is hand crafted and hand embellished in our London studio using the highest quality laces and silks. When we receive an order, we then order the right materials for that specific dress only. When we receive the materials, we cut the dress and then sew it together. We also make the alterations ourselves if any is needed. We value the handmade nature and quality of our products. Our dresses and accessories have a story behind them.

One of a kind, fibre art homewares and jewellery,
handmade sustainably with natural dyes for you and your home.

At the core of each and every MELO handmades' item is a passion for slow-creating and the desire to capture beauty. Often taking several days from start to finish, each piece of tapestry, jewellery and accessory is delicate and feminine, perfect for those who appreciate timeless elegance and fine quality. 

Originally from Singapore, MELO handmades is now based in Sydney, where every piece of tapestry, jewellery and accessory is lovingly handcrafted in my home studio. The fibre art technique of nuno-felting bonds high-quality merino wool fibres with fabrics, creating a base canvas for each item to be built upon. Splashes of colour are added with natural dye pigments, extracted from dye stuffs with hot water. Embellishments, ranging from beads and sequins to lace and hand-wound tassels, are hand-stitched one by one, before finishing each piece with the finest findings.

Stemming from the love of nature, MELO handmades also aims to respect Mother Earth in the best possible way. Natural materials are used as much as possible while careful planning and working in small batches minimise the waste created. Gift boxes are also made from recycled material while other packaging items such as ribbons and mailing pouches can be easily reused or recycled.

Along with the curated collection available online, MELO handmades also welcomes commissions and customisations, working closely with you every step of the way to create bespoke pieces for your special occasion.

My love for sewing and beautiful things grew from a hobby to a profession. Every day I start and finish in my cozy little workshop. Inspiration comes to me from the surrounding nature. That's why I prefer natural materials. Linen and cotton fabrics are so nice to hold in your hands. And how delightful the dresses made of them!
I used to do everything alone. But over the years, I realized that to do all the work alone is simply impossible. And now I have reliable assistants that I trust crochet, embroidery and some sewing steps.
Every woman is unique and beautiful. And she must have a beautiful dress, I'm sure!

A little background...

I've always had a fascination with all things old. As a kid you could often find me rummaging through my grandmother's closet begging her not to get rid of anything. It's a well known fact in my family that you "MUST ask Courtney!" before throwing anything out. Thankfully my interest in old things has become a little more fine tuned and I haven't turn into a hoarder!...yet

Vivian Elise Vintage all started with one sad looking dress. Then there was a spark, a lot of research, hard work, and out of nowhere I found my passion. There's just something about finding a dress that most people would overlook and restoring it back to it's former beauty!

I'm happy to have finally found my niche and lucky to get to use my love of art, photography, and new found sewing skills all at the same time! 

I'm dedicated to finding only the best and most unique vintage around. All my gowns are cleaned, restored, as well as redesigned and updated for the modern bride. 

So here's to all thing glorious and vintage. Cheers.

Have you ever considered the perfect wedding dress could be a pre-loved dress? We can help you find an incredible dress for a fraction of the cost.

We believe that every beautiful dress deserves more than one day and there are so many stunning wedding dresses ready for you.

At Only Dream Dresses, we have created a convenient marketplace to connect dress owners that would like to share their beautiful gowns with potential new owners or borrowers.

Modern brides are savvy about money and they are also more globally aware and socially conscious. It just doesn’t make sense to the modern bride to spend so much on a dress. We think spending it on a honeymoon sounds like a much better idea!

This modern way of finding that perfect dress and creating those forever memories is what Only Dream Dresses is all about.

With weddings becoming increasingly expensive, more couples are looking for ways to reduce the cost of their wedding but still have that magical day. Not only do we offer the savvy bride a way to recoup some money on their wedding dress, but also designer dresses for those brides looking for that unique dress.

Only Dream Dresses will help you look fabulous in an innovative, economical way which still focuses on what matters – your perfect dress on your wedding day.

We are a creative design studio and we make wedding dresses and casual wear for women. All Larimeloom garment are designed and individually crafted by hand in our atelier in Reggio Emilia – Italy.

We believe in careful consumption.

 We value thoughtful design, striving to create timeless and modern silhouettes using quality, sustainable, long lasting materials.

We care about the process as much as the end result. We believe in sustainable, ethical, slow fashion, where the focal points are the quality of the products and the human connections they create.

We use high quality, sustainable and durable natural materials that can accompany those who wear them from season to season, as their style evolves.

We strive to create functional garments. Our collection evolves over the years, not following the fast-paced seasonal rhythms of the fashion industry. We make garments with original cuts and a minimalist design aesthetic, which draw inspiration from the unexpected, pure and harmonious lines of nature.

Garments designed around the person and their needs. A natural, comfortable piece, that will feel like a second skin.

We develop our designs following a zero waste logic, with patterns that take full advantage of the size of the piece of cloth chosen, with minimal fabric waste. With our scraps we create some of our favorite designs, giving life to modern and unexpected pieces that have a unique kind of beauty.

We dye our fabrics using non-toxic or completely natural colors. All our wedding dresses, once used, can be transformed into a piece that can be worn in everyday life.

Cleveland's premiere boutique for one-of-a-kind restored and redesigned vintage wedding gowns and party dresses as well as unique vintage accessories.

LOVE OF SEWING, PASSION FOR VINTAGE
Miranda Park, owner and founder of Miranda's Vintage Bridal and Alterations, has over ten years experience in the bridal industry working as the lead seamstress for a Cleveland-area boutique before deciding to venture out on her own. She is an award-winning graduate of the Kent State Fashion School with a bachelor's degree in fine and professional arts, majoring in fashion design.

Miranda developed a love of sewing at a very early age. From the moment she saw the little mice sewing Cinderella's ball gown, she was hooked. She learned basic sewing skills from her mother, who made beautiful little dolls for art shows. Miranda took great enjoyment helping her mother and soon she was making things on her own. She started off small, with Barbie doll clothes and hair scrunches. As she grew, so did her sewing skills and passion for design.

In addition to sewing, Miranda has also always had a love of all things vintage. This passion was instilled in her at an early age, traveling to auctions with her grandmother who owned an antique store. She often recalls visiting with her grandmother at her store, dreaming to have a store of her own someday.

Her love of vintage grew to a love of vintage fashion as she immersed herself in the world of classic film. This passion grew deeper with every classic movie she watched. How many elementary school children could sit through "Gone with the Wind" over and over again? She finds inspiration in those old classic movies and the timeless beauties who star in them.

It is the combination of the love of sewing and the passion for vintage fashion that sparked the creation of Miranda's Vintage Bridal and drives her to bring gowns with a quality of timeless beauty and elegance to her customers.

SUSTAINABILITY : OUR COMMITMENT

Our decision to use these natural and sustainable fibres with traceable sourcing for the brand’s collections underlines the serious commitment towards both the environment and the community. 

Hand spun, hand-woven, hand-embroidered, and handmade from start to finish, a cruelty free signature Sanyukta Shrestha Gown has a unique personal journey and it is made with love and respect, ensuring the protection of the skin and the highly comfortable feel. Every design reflects many hours of meticulous work, and pays tribute to the Nepalese Craftsmanship, creating a luxurious, sustainable and ethically made “one of a kind” gown. The brand embodies the traditions of Sanyukta Shrestha’s heritage and her way of connecting worlds by sustainably preserving the cultural characteristics to redefine what luxury means. Luxury with a conscience.

Traceability

Traceability is connected with the ability of our brand to track the product’s lifecycle down to where the raw materials came from, who makes them, how they make them and what factories/studios were involved in producing it. For us, the traceability of products is divided in three stages of our tracing process: “Field to Fashion”, “Fibre to fashion” and “Fabric to Fashion”. For the past ten years, we are continuously tracing our supply chain although our producers and suppliers are carefully selected. The supply chain of a fabric is the foundation of the entire supply chain and the transparency of its life cycle plays a significant role in the sustainable approach of the business. It is vital for us to know where and how our fabrics reached us, not just for monitoring our carbon footprint but for protecting our planet and taking care of people as well.
