But for brides wanting a custom-made gown, or if you don't want your bridesmaids to looks like carbon copies of each other but you still want them to match in gowns they like, <a href="http://olivialuca.com/home/" target="_blank">Olivia Luca</a> is easily the coolest resource for bridal and bridesmaid dresses I've found so far. You design your own dress using their website, and they have numerous sustainable fabric options. </p> <p>Remember that game Fashion Plates, where little girls could design their own outfits and and color them in? Welcome to your online version of that game. </p> <p>Olivia Luca's eco fabrics include organic cotton, hemp, hempcel (a hemp and tencel blend), bamboo/organic cotton knit, organic linen, some layered options, and coming soon, soy knit. They also have several printed organic cotton choices as well.</p> <p>I'm going to try making a few gowns to see what the prices are like and will present this to my girls as an option. And it's not just because I really want to play with Olivia Luca's online dress designer. Really. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Image: Olivia Luca </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://www.riverwired.com/blog/design-your-own-eco-wedding-dress#comments bridesmaids hemp organic sustainable fashion tencel wedding dress TV &amp; Internet Green Love &amp; Weddings Blogs Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:00:00 -0400 ckane 9447 at http://www.riverwired.com
