Organic Cotton Summer Dresses by Annie Greenabelle

Ever thought about buying organic Summer Dresses and how your purchase may affect the people involved in bringing that garment to market?

Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides and is generally thought to be a more environmentally friendly option than conventional cotton as inevitably the chemicals used in the farming and manufacturing process naturally seep into the land and therefore affect all of us. Pesticide poisoning accounts for about 20,000 deaths in developing countries each year and many of them are due to cotton farming.

Pesticides damage the fertility of the soil making it more difficult for farmers to grow cotton and making them suffer due to lack of money and debt. Organic cotton farmers receive substantially higher incomes which allows them to pay for education for their children and health care.  Organic cotton is also free from chemical residues which is thought to be particularly beneficial to those with sensitive skin. But there is also another great reason to buy organic cotton summer dresses – because there are some really amazing designs and beautiful styles available, perfect for  a bit of guilt free shopping.

Many people may think of organic cotton clothing as expensive, lacking in choice or just not that fashionable but that is definitely not the case anymore. With the likes of the fair-trade movement and organic food becoming more widely recognised and accepted, so too has organic clothes become more main stream with new and established labels beginning to use organic cotton as an alternative to conventionally grown cotton, and as it’s popularity grows, the choice of styles available has steadily grown. The prices are great too with plenty of organic cotton summer dresses costing no more than their conventional cotton alternatives.
