1 What are lower-impact wedding dresses?
Maggie Sottero's lower-impact wedding dresses are a beautiful choice for brides who want to tie the knot in style while reducing their environmental footprint. Maggie Sottero currently features 200+ lower-impact gowns in our collections, made with recycled-content fabrics and energy/water saving yarn-dyed materials. We continue to innovate our designs, testing new materials and processes---like waterless dyeing---to further reduce our product impact and help lead the way to a more sustainable bridal fashion industry.
We’re also investing in the circular supply chain, partnering with SuperCircle and the Avena Group to send our excess gown stock to be recycled into new fibers or products.
How are lower-impact wedding dresses different from traditional wedding dresses?
Lower-impact wedding dresses are different from traditional wedding dresses because they're designed to have a reduced impact on the environment. One key element: The materials used to make the gowns. Recycled-content fabrics (like our Veler Chiffon and Kahili lining) lower greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy and resource requirements compared to producing new, virgin polyester. Waterless CO2-dyed or yarn-dyed fabrics (like our Leviss Satin and Elin Mikado) consume less water and energy in production. Learn more about these fabrics in our blog.
What materials and methods are used when designing lower-impact wedding dresses?
We’re reimagining our textile resource consumption, reducing fabric layers without compromising the fit and quality of our gowns, and scaling up lower-impact materials in our collections—not as a one-time capsule collection, but as ongoing active styles. In 2023, we introduced the first of our wedding dresses made from recycled polyester and resource-efficient yarn-dye production. As of Fall 2026, we offer 200+ lower-impact gowns in our collections! These dresses feature outer shells and/or inner linings made from innovative fabrics like recycled-content chiffon and waterless C02-dyed satin.
We're implementing systems change throughout our organization, embedding sustainability as a core value for every team in support of a more sustainable wedding industry.
