The classic red dress always make you stand out at evening events. 

Eco-fashionably speaking, we're used to hearing about organically made clothing just pertaining to T-shirts and jeans, but companies do make formal evening dresses from organic cotton, bamboo, and silk.

Many eco-formal dresses are about the same price of regular dresses from stores. But since these dresses can be rare to find, it's just one item easy to find at eco-friendly online stores. 

If online shopping's not your thing, you might find nice gowns and dresses at department stores like Nordstrom and Dillard's. And vintage shopping can heighten your chances of finding that one-of-a-kind eco-formal dress.
