Dress Distribution #110 - Early Christmas Goodies for Pakistan

I have always wanted to send these items to a location but I could not remember which box it was that contained them until two days ago I found it by accident. This time sending the parcel is on the top of my list. 

Three of these items (hairclips (19x), singlets (12x) and handmade bags (4x)) were donated to sell to raise money for postage. I have not been attending markets for almost 2-1/2 years now so I never had the chance to sell them (and they did not sell from my website) so I have decided to send it to Pakistan for the kids to wear and enjoy. The other two items of beanies (4x) and scarves (4x)  will be of good use during Pakistan's winter season. They are all new. You see, sometimes I have this habit of buying something when on sale (real sale!) hoping that I will be able to give it to someone. And since the box still had some space available, I added in the 4 dresses sent by the Year 9 students of the Rockhampton Grammar School. These items will be sent to Lubna Ghani for her to give to those who are in need of them. I always feel good when I sort and pack items to send. Hopefully I will have more to pack with the season of Christmas almost just around the corner.

4 dresses sewn and donated by Year 9 students of the Rockhampton Grammar School (c-o Julie Dunlop)

Received this parcel of 4 dresses today. These dresses were sewn by the Year 9 students of the Rockhampton Grammar School in Rockhampton under the guidance of Mrs Julie Dunlop, their Year 9 Catering/Fashion Teacher.

They loved sewing the dresses and were very happy to donate for the disadvantaged kids anywhere in the world. These dresses will be included in the planned Christmas distribution for 2017. Thank you to the Year 9 students for their hard work and generosity and to Mrs Julie Dunlop for guiding them . Much appreciated.

Guidelines for making dresses for the 2017 Christmas collection

Soon I will be opening a new dress collection for 2017 Christmas distribution. For those who are contemplating on making dresses to donate, please be reminded on Dress A Girl Australia's guidelines on how to make dresses especially on the materials to use. It is my wish that the dresses to be given away can be outgrown by the kids who will receive them, that they can be worn for a longer period of time or even possibly handed down to a younger sister and/or brother  so fabric materials to be used in making the dresses must be of a material that can withstand rugged environments like 100% cotton. Ribbons should be avoided when making the pillowcase style of dresses as they do not last.

Guidelines on how to make dresses

For this Christmas collection, sizes between 7 to 10 will be preferred. Same size preference for pairs of shorts if you want to donate for the boys.

For any questions or more information regarding dresses to donate, please send an email to dressagirlaustralia@gmail.com.

Change in payment type

My dressagirlaustralia website no longer accepts paypal payments for dress sponsorships or any type of transactions but credit/debit cards are still accepted via stripe. For everyone's info. Thank you.

A new set has been added again to my Dress Sponsorship Program

A new set of clothes has been added to my Dress Sponsorship program to help break the cycle of poverty and give hope to those who desperately need it. For $22.00 you can sponsor this dress and boys' set of t-shirt and pair of shorts and help save lives in Vietnam. 

Your sponsorship will help raise money to provide clean water tanks for clean water for at least 100 families in Vietnam. To sponsor, all you have to do is click on the image above or on the link below to make a direct donation to Christina Noble Children's Foundation Australia (CNCF) and don't forget to enter 'Dress Sponsorship Program' in the message box.
