Spice up your nights with Isis, Julia, Piper, or Sia - Yala Dresses that go from daytime to dinner. Never a need to sacrifice comfort in Yala's silky soft BambooDreams or Cotton Voile.

Feeling a little Cleopatra? Skip the black eyeliner and go for exotic drama in our Isis MaxiDress. Now available in two hot new colors for summer - Paradise and Navy. Sleeveless with gathered shoulders and a sweeping ankle-length fall from braiding at the empire waist, the Isis Maxi turns heads as a party dress or a beach cover-up.

The BambooDreams® Julia Dress flatters every figure with its crossover bodice, elastic waist and faux wrap skirt that floats around your knees in our silky BambooDreams® fabric. The feminine fit of our Julia Dress will keep you feeling lovely all day and into the night.

Form-fitting and flattering – rarely can one dress claim both of those descriptions, but our Bamboo Dreams® Piper Dress is that rare specimen. Our secret? Gathering along the side seams caresses your curves in just the right way to accentuate but never exaggerate. Empire waistline, short sleeves and above-knee length make this the perfect summer pull-on-and-go dress for all occasions from dressy to casual.

Simple and sweet, Sia will become a wardrobe staple as the temperatures rise. An Indus inspired floral dress with a beautiful hand-stitched detail at the bust and side seam pockets. Our woven organic cotton voile fabric is so light you’ll live in it all summer long. Pull it on over your swimsuit or dress it up for an evening outdoors. The Sia is extremely versatile and always stylish.

Until Next Time,

Did you know?

Cotton vs. Organic Cotton

Inside Sedona Organics

• On average, it takes about a pound of chemicals to grow cotton contained in a standard cotton T and jeans. 
• Standard cotton production may not go away overnight, but buying organic cotton helps support farms who engage in the socially responsible practice of pesticide-free production. 
• The chemicals used on cotton crops have been linked to ground water, surface water and drinking water contamination around the globe. 

Viscose or Rayon from Bamboo

Yala's Bamboo Dreams® Piper Dress is made of Viscose from Bamboo

• Considered a grass, bamboo is capable of growing over three feet in a 24-hour period making it one of the fastest growing plants in the world. 
• Compared to trees of similar size, bamboo also consumes five times the amount of CO2 and emits 35% more oxygen. 
• Growing bamboo improves soil quality and helps rebuild eroded soil. The extensive root system of bamboo holds soil together, prevents soil erosion and retains water in the water shed. 
• It does not require replanting after harvest because its vast root network continually sprouts new shoots by pulling in sunlight and converting green house gasses. This happens naturally without pesticides or fertilizers and without the use of tractors or other petroleum using machinery.

Recycled PET

• Recycled PET is one of the most exciting eco-conscious fabric choices available on the market today.  The fabric starts out as used plastic containers in the recycle bin. The PET products are sorted out, crushed, pressed into bales, shredded and then refined into PET flakes. 
• The recycled flakes are identical to newly produced PET flakes in their chemical composition, but they do have a few extremely important differences. It takes two-thirds less energy to manufacture products made out of recycled plastic, 90% less water and 50% less certain chemicals.
• At first glance, making clothing out of plastic bottles instead of bamboo or organic cotton may not seem very eco-friendly, but consider this- The United States consumed over 5.6 billion pounds of PET plastic containers in 2007. 
• Choosing to buy garments made of recycled PET over more resource-intensive fabrics (synthetics or otherwise) is one way to help reduce this imposing mountain of plastic in our world. Flexible, weather-resistant and long lasting, PET fabrics can also be surprisingly soft and supple, while maintaining favorable insulation properties.

We look forward to a long relationship providing sustainable fabrics together!

Until next time,
