Women's Bamboo Dresses

Description

These supremely comfortable organic bamboo and organic cotton dresses are very versatile. Some people wear them the whole year round (because they are so comfortable), just by adding a layer or two. The dress can go over a bathing suit in the summer, and put your jeans or tights and a long-sleeved tee under it in the winter!

The design is unique; we spent much time developing the loveliest, and most flattering shape for the dress; the A-line flare begins at the chest (rather than at the waist), so that in conjunction with the incredible drape of the organic bamboo and organic cotton fabric, the dress falls beautifully.

And now we've even added side pockets and two new colours to the dresses - we hope that you will enjoy them!

Fabric

100% Organic: 70% Organic Bamboo
and 30% Organic Cotton

Bamboo fabric is ideal for exercise wear. However, all bamboo fabric is not created equally. After much research Dear Lil' Devas found the bamboo fabric that meets our environmental, ethical and quality expectations. And guess where we found it? -- Being finished right here under our observant noses in Southern Ontario, Canada!

• Environmental Impact
  Bamboo is a forestry product, so the natural eco-system stays in place. There is no need for pesticides, herbicides, tilling or replanting. Bamboo groves return a huge amount of oxygen back to the atmosphere in comparison with other types of forests.
  
  
• Eco and Worker Friendly
  Our bamboo is grown solely in bamboo groves that have FSC Certification, and OCIA/NOP
  
  
• International Organic Standards Certification
  Our knit of 70% viscose from certified organic bamboo yarn and 30% certified organic cotton yarn has the European Oeko-Tex 100 certification and is produced meeting ISO 14001 standards.
  
  
• Bamboo Yarn
  The certified organic bamboo used in Dear Lil' Devas bamboo fabric has been pulped and spun into yarn using a clean, modern viscose process. The result of this process is a high modulus yarn - could be called the "Pima Cotton" of bamboo, offering excellent luster, softness and durability.
  
  
• Fabric Finishing Process
  Fabric is knit and dyed in Canada.
  
  
• Low Impact Dyed
  Our unique single jet-dying process has been developed to have the lowest environmental impact possible. The fabric is prepared for dye using hot water and a mechanical process only (scouring). The dying is done using small quantities of environmentally friendly dyes free of heavy metals, chlorine, solvents, optical brightening chemicals, or any other toxic chemicals.
  
  
• No Antibacterial Chemical Treatment
  Silver Nitrate is the main ingredient of the anti-microbial treatment that is very often applied to mass-produced athletic wear and shoes. It is a poisonous substance, and not applied to DLD items.
  
  
• Dear Lil' Devas Non-Factory, Local Sewing Environment
  Because we do not mass-produce our items, we are blessed to be able to maintain a benevolent and interactive design and sewing environment. The local women who are a part of Dear Lil' Devas are relaxed and dedicated. By using beautiful materials that we consider to be a gift from nature, putting those materials into high-quality, timeless designs, and sewing them up in an unhurried, mindful atmosphere, we've got some really good vibes going on here. We believe that those good vibes translate into the final products, and in turn are transferred to you. Namaste.
