Dear Cleo

Based in Bellevue, WA, Dear Cleo is a dress business bringing sustainability to the wedding industry. Each piece of chiffon and satin is woven from recycled plastic bottles, reclaiming what’s thrown away and transforming it into a gown to treasure. You can create a “showroom” on the Dear Cleo site, inviting your wedding party to make accounts. There, you’ll be able to collaborate and make the big decisions concerning cut and color. With over 50 colors and styles apiece, you and your party may find it difficult to choose. An unlimited number of swatches can be sent to your door, so everyone can see and feel what these fabrics are like in person. Or, if you prefer, each member of your party can select up to 5 dresses to be sent to them to try on in their own home. You’ll be delighted to know that most dresses have pockets so you can keep your essentials with you on the big day. With made-to-order dresses from Dear Cleo, you can rest assured you’ve reduced your impact on the environment while also opting for a glamorous fashion-forward gown.
