Etsy Weekend: Organic Bamboo T-shirt

Today I followed a link from this gorgeous little 100% silk Daisy Bra. It is totally unsuitable for a woman built like I am, but so very pretty. Each bra is made to order, styled after a lovely flower. Just so beautiful….

Then, I found something perfect for Pretty By Nature - an organic bamboo jersey t-shirt - the knickers are also available.

Sally T-Shirt
$38

This shirt was inspired by Holly Golightly of Breakfast At Tiffany’s fame. It has fluttery bell-shaped sleeves and is gathered at the bottom. Here’s a bit about the advantages of using a fabric like organic bamboo jersey, which is, if you’ve ever had the opportunity to touch it, incredibly soft and silky.

Bamboo jersey is 60% more water absorbent than cotton, and has a cooling effect. It is naturally anti-bacterial and will not hold odour. Like other natural fibers, it allows the body to breathe as the fabric absorbs the sweat away from the body.

Sounds perfect for Summer-time wear, doesn’t it? Each Sally T-shirt is made to order, so contact the seller for specifics. For more information or to see what else the Hopeless shop carries, click here.

Organic Toggery by Kate D’Arcy

Kate D’Arcy’s Toggery line is “fashion for the environmentally conscious consumer.”  Using organic fabrics and sustainable materials like bamboo, D’Arcy designs a line of fashionable essential wardrobe piecesthat can be dressed up or down, depending on your mood or the occasion.

Toggery’s Spring 2009 line features many pieces that adapt to the changes in weather that many areas experience this time of year.  Sure, it looks beautiful outside, but when you step out the door, you find that it’s still only 60 degrees. Brr.  The best way to beat the shivers is to wear light-weight layers, like this tank and cardigan.

I love how this outfit is both cute and comfortable.  This is the way I’d like to dress every day and a quick change of accessories takes this look from day to night.

For those days when it’s finally sunny and warm, you definitely need a sundress.  This is one of those versatile pieces that does double-duty on a Spring Break getaway - to the pool, sight-seeing, out for a bite to eat - one sundress suits so many different needs.

The One-Shoulder Trend in Eco-Friendly Organic Cotton

February 22, 2009 by Michelle Smith  
Filed under Eco-Friendly, Fashion, Organic Fashion

One-shouldered, asymmetrical tops and dresses are one of the new trends that I hope continue. There’s something light-hearted and fun about them, while also offering those of  us who need more support a tad more security than a strapless number.

This dress, Perfectly Imperfect’s One Shoulder Knotted Dress, is made of 100% Organic cotton. It has a nautical feel with it’s blue and white stripe pattern that runs on a diagonal. It features an asymmetrical hemline, that echos the top of the dress’s knotted single shoulder strap.

Front view…..

…..and here’s the back view…….

perfectly-imperfect-oneknot-back-view-michelle-sm

The design of this dress was inspired by the Chinese philosophy of wabi sabi, which celebrates  simple, fresh, simplicity.

The Perfectly Imperfect’s On Shoulder Knotted Dress retails for $150, but is currently on sale for $90 at the greenloop online shop here.
