Beloved Green,
The Sustainable Wedding Resource for Midwest Brides says
in their March 24th issue: “I think I am in love. Truly in
love. Mountains of the Moon, a Chicago-based
eco-fashion design group, has some beautiful options for
dresses that would look simply stunning for a bride or
bridesmaid. And so gorgeous, everyone will want to
wear them again and again instead of tossing them into a
heap to be left for the inevitable thrift store or
landfill."
