The Reformation: Not for fussy girls. If going dress shopping makes you cringe and your perfect scenario involves ordering a dress online that won't need to be altered, The Reformation is your spot! All of their clothes (including the wedding dresses) are sustainably made in their LA-based factory, so you can feel good in their dresses and feel even better knowing it was made ethically with environmentally-friendly practices. It's also a great site to peruse if you're looking for whimsical bridesmaids dresses that your girls actually WILL wear again!
