Eco-fashion brand Reformation launches bridal collection
Eco-fashion brand Reformation plans to launch its first bridal collection on Thursday.
The collection, to be sold in stores and online, consists of eight styles, each available in a choice of seven colors. Ivory silk wedding dresses range from $518 to $588. Bridesmaids dresses are $198-$368.
The dresses were all made according to sustainable fashion practices, Reformation says in a news release, “so girls can get into these guilt-free.”
The dresses were also designed with an eye toward styles that could be reworn for other occasions -- a much more sustainable idea than the wear-once-and-toss protocol for most bridesmaids’ gear.
The dresses are being introduced along with a redesign of Reformation’s website -- which as of this writing is still down for the transition. They promise to be back in business ASAP.
