Dress a Girl Around the World was started in October of 2009 under the notion that every girl should own at least one dress. We transform new & gently used pillowcases into beautiful dresses for little girls. As of today, over 280,000 dresses have been made by volunteers and blessed little girls in 80 countries-including the US. We have people sewing dresses all over the United States, the UK, Canada, China, the Philippines, & Australia. WHAT IF THAT DRESS WAS MADE BY YOU???
