The Carbon Closet is here to help you shine sustainably this season with our ethical guide to the best eco-conscious black dresses. So if you’re looking for a last minute Halloween dress, a Christmas Party showstopper, or any other occasion- because when is a LBD ever unnecessary- here are our recommendations to keep you sustainably at the centre of attention.
1) Reformation – Effortless Elegance

2) Mara Hoffman – Textured Drama

The Zia and Alycia dresses are made from organic cotton; both have a unique popcorn texture, and come in two different lengths, and each with enough ruffle for that wow-factor you so desire.

3) Albaray – Sustainable Sparkle
For a little (or a lot of) sparkle, Albaray has your back. Their Sequin Velvet Off-Shoulder Dress is constructed from recycled polyester for the base layer, lining and sequins so you can steal the spotlight in the best way this winter. With more eco-sparkles in stock, we definitely encourage you to explore Albaray for your next party purchase.
4) Ganni – Opulent Volume
No bodycon? No problem! For those seeking a less fitted dress, Ganni’s Black Duchesse Nylon Mini Dress might be more your taste. This dress is made from majority recycled material, and still allows you that LBD moment you deserve. The Carbon Closet loves this little pocket, perfect to keep a couple of Cadbury’s celebrations in!
5) Faithfull – Chic and Covered
Last but not least, a more modest look: Faithfull’s Galea Belted Bead-Embellished Maxi Dress has you covered (from sleeve to ankle). Not too fitted or flashy, but with bags of impact still, Faithfull will ensure you stand out in your own way.
