I didn't include People Treein my recent roundup of eco chic dresses for the summer, which was a bit of a crime as their Spring/Summer 08 collection really trumps all previous offerings, and the designs just keep getting better.
The waterlily dress is a good example of what they do best; it's simple, stylish and made from 100% organic, hand-woven cotton whose quality is clearly visible. The plainness of the classic shift style is offset by the soft pleats around the neckline and bold waterlily print. The dress is put together in India under fairtrade conditions, and like all People Tree garments, will be generously sized. Available from the Natural Store at £65
