THE GOOD.Our gorgeous non-toxic, sustainable SLIP DRESSES are made with eco wood-fibre TENCEL™ Satin fabric in a 135 gsm medium weight for a luxury looking drape.
THE BAD.Now you can look divine in an eco-slip dress and ditch the toxic plastic polluting polyester satin.
Even if recycled polyester or rPET, the plastic fibres will take approximately 200 years to break down and leach into the environment and into animals and humans. The chemicals are known endocrine disruptors and carcinogens and can be found deep in human tissue.
We also do not use 'regular' silk satin because women workers are subjected to awful chemical working conditions to de-gum the silk cocoon (they get black fingers and noses where they're breathing in toxic chemicals and its unknown and highly unlikely they capture and clean the water instead of pumping into local waterways affecting the people and environment)
THE UGLY
Other slip dresses are straight cut to use minimum textiles however our Slip Dresses have been meticulously designed and cut on the bias so that people of all body shapes can wear and look stunning, elegant and to look and feel luxurious without damaging their health and causing negative impact on others and the environment; all from a toxic Slip Dress.
Note. the excess textiles that occurs when you cut on the bias will be used to make lapels and neck ties for upcoming pieces.
WHAT IS TENCEL?
TENCEL™ is made of cellulose, a natural component of Lenzing's renewable source material wood. TENCEL™ is made from sustainably harvested trees that is accredited and trademarked to Lenzing™.
LENZING™ TENCEL™
NOTE
. Please do not purchase products that do not show the TM trademarked symbol for TENCEL™.
I have seen many brands lie about being certified TENCEL™ or just call it the generic name lyocell or rayon etc,
These fabrics are undocumented and most likely to be contributing to the mass deforestation we see around the world and even reported to be logging endangered forests by CanopyPlanet
