Years ago, clothes were created to last and designs were classic.

Today, trends are changing—the materials are inexpensive and disposable closets marked. The move towards living a natural lifestyle today includes purchasing eco-friendly clothing.

Producers are finding that the eco-friendly clothing market must be served because consumers’ interest in helping the environment has erupted during the last five years and with a valid reason.

Compromise can sometimes be made by living in an eco-friendly manner. However in some cases, we just can’t compromise. Looking great and wearing fashionable clothes is more than just a fashion statement for many of us; it is the secret to helping us feel assured. There have been eco-friendly dresses around for a very long time that use natural products, but many seem just too old-fashioned to walk in daily.

Happily, there are natural materials that aren’t just fully biodegradable, but can be used to create clothes as fashionable as with contemporary artificial fabrics such as nylon.

Bamboo

Bamboo is a grass and as such can reach a maximum height in just a few months and needs almost no water. It can disperse quickly over a big region. In addition, within a short time, it will help to improve the quality of inferior land and also grows in places where no other crop can take root.

Bamboo dresses are flexible and very versatile. Effective clothing including bamboo yoga wear is very popular because the substance itself is perfect for sports activities. The dresses do not give off the feeling that it is knitted. It extracts as hemp and other ‘natural’ substances.

Bamboo dresses are also anti-static, absorbs and evaporates perspiration faster than artificial materials, and it does not stick to the skin. It is also highly breathable in hot weather permitting air to pass through it to keep you cool. Conversely, it can also retain heat during cool weather, helping to keep you warm.
