Guest Blog Post Ethical Weddings Monday {A wedding dress to wear again}

A wedding dress I can wear again…

What a difference a few credit crunchy months make. In the words of the fashion thermometer: going down – disposable style, going up – wear it again, Sam!

Gung ho greenies are rejoicing as formerly thrift-free fashionistas save last season’s slacks from landfill for a second life at the clothes swap party. The make do and mend crew are the new gurus of recession chic, stitchin’ ‘n’ bitchin’ while the planet heals.

But for me, confirmation that the conscious shopper has arrived came in the frivolous form of The Times Style magazine. Flicking to the reader questions, I found this:

‘I’m getting married in May and am looking for a dress that is suitably bridal without being a wedding dress – ideally, I want one that I can wear again. My budget is about £700. What would you advise?’

The ultimate one-wear item is finally up for fashion debate. So to keep ‘wear again’ going up, I’ve done a little digging for the best ethical threads to sport down the aisle… or down the allotment – most for considerably less than £700!

I adore the dresses in this collection – they’re so individual they’re definitely for the bride who wants something a bit different. Sadly, they’re not available online – you’ll have to pop into their London shop to find the one that’s absolutely you…

  2. I love this idea! 60 years ago and beyond, girls would wear the best dress in their closet, it was obviously going to be worn again. The white wedding dress is really only about 100 or so years old. Love color, style etc… of going beyond the white wedding gown! Be original!
