Are you an eco-conscious bride? Plan your wedding to be as green as possble. Few ready-to-wear gowns are really eco-conscious. Where are they manufactured, and how are the gowns shipped here? What are they made of, inside and out? Often, wedding gowns made of plastic polyester are shipped from the far side of the planet using even more fossel fuels, and even dresses that are made of natural fibers on the outside use cheaper synthetic materials on the inside.

With a custom made green gown, you have better choices.

• Locally made with high quality craftsmanship.
• Your choice of materials such as breathable, compostable, natural fibers like silk, cotton, linen, wool; organically grown fabrics and trims;  or peace silks, made without killing the silkworm.
• Custom design means that the dress expresses your taste and values, not anyone else's.
• Custom dressmaking gives you expert advice, personal attention, nurture rather than stress.
