New Year.... new lil black dress!!

By Lorna


Fear not ecogodesses! ...amidst all the chaos of the January sales I have searched the globe for the best LBDs. Whether you rock your style simple and classic like a modern day Audrey Hepburn or you prefer an edgier catwalk look, I have found the perfect LBD for you... and naturally they are all on sale!


My fav is the ‘Layla Dress’ by Ascension. It is a really beautiful sophisticated cut with an obi style belt tie to nip your waist in. Each dress is carefully hand embroidered by Indian Artisans with gorgeous tonal stitch detail around the neckline, shoulder and belt. This means that each dress is unique and you can wear it with pride knowing its fair trade! Now only £54.50 (was £109.00) at www.ascensiononline.com


Next up is the totally gorgeous People Tree ‘Strapless Party Dress’. The 100% silk dress is sure to steal the party limelight, it has pleat front detail, a ruched back panel and feature pockets. The cloth is hand woven in Bangladesh and the straps are removable making this dress super cute and adaptable! Was £160 now £80 at 
www.ascensiononline.com



And finally, no ‘top ethical LBD’ list would be complete without a nod to designer Julia Smith... This edgy dress with on-trend accentuated shoulders is made from recycled polyester and has long sleeves, which can be turned up to reveal batik lining. Rock this attention grabbing dress with black opaque’s and killer heels. £240 (was £320) at www.fashion-conscience.com
