SEW SUNDRESSES
Make simple cotton sundresses from instructions provided, then deliver the dresses to our local contact (see below) or mail them to Dress a Girl’s Arizona headquarters. The dresses are then hand-delivered to needy girls.
“Gather your friends, family, co-workers, church group, etc and have a fun night of sewing once a week, or monthly, or do a one-time marathon.”
SEW HYGIENE KITS AND/OR SEWING KITS
Each hygiene kit consists of 2 panties, 10 pads, 2 liners, 1 soap, 1 washcloth, and 1 backpack. These sanitary supplies are hard to obtain in the areas that DAG serves, and older girls cannot attend school without them. The sewing kit is a drawstring pouch filled with sewing necessities. DAG has specific patterns for these kits.

Hi Ms. Smith-Evans,
To volunteer with Dress a Girl Around the World, you can make the dresses using these guidelines and the guidelines posted on our ServeforGood.org listing (called DAG Sundress Guidelines and DAG Armhole Templates), then contact Cathy at [email protected] to get more information on how to deliver the dresses.
