I am having a summer wedding so the dresses are cocktail length which is certainly easier for the girls to wear again (like to another wedding!) Beautiful silk based fabrics and made-to-measure for £164 each, not bad for ethical! www.consciouselegance.com , go to party frocks section and look at Amber style. Mine will be one colour in soft green. Hi

Ethical fashion has been getting a boost in the press of late. It's been very tough out there though for ethical labels, Fairtrade goods and quality organic and British products as money is tight for everyone -- and just when the Green and Fairtrade movement was making headway. Luckily as most of the great, independent eco and ethical fashion labels are small and without huge overheads, such as Quail, we can keep our little creative heads above water, work harder and get there by sheer ethical determination!!!

Second-hand and for charity too :) Or try Oxfam - their ‘Evening Wear’ shops (in Oxfam Bridal shops or online) have lots of great dresses, I spotted several good bridesmaid-potential dresses whilst wedding dress hunting there myself!

I bought one of these in Mallard green Emily Dresses: http://www.quailbymail.co.uk/go-shopping/skirts-dresses My fiancee and I got married in a civil ceremony in England before having a big church wedding in abroad where I wore my Mum's 'vintage and retro' wedding dress and as a dress-maker she also incorporated some antique lace from my grandmother's favourite dresses. A form of sentimental recycling!!!! I wore the Emily dress 'to my first wedding' because I wanted something fun, sustainable, organic, fairtrade, and made in England...and when I got it it even had two cute seashell buttons on it, real pockets and the dress was even packaged in brown paper tied up in a bow.
