Dress A Girl Around the World-DSM

Dress A Girl Around the World-DSM Dress A Girl Around the World - Des Moines We deliver hope and dresses to girls at risk around the world because every girl deserves at least one dress!

Founder - Donna Moore, Iowa I started sewing in Junior high school. but hadn't sewn in years until I became involved with Dress a Girl in Rochester NY. It was part of an organization called Angels of Mercy which addresses the abuse & trafficking of women. They made dresses for DAG -- I loved the idea and joined the group. Then I relocated to Des Moines, IA . From the day we made the decision to

move, getting involved in DAG and meeting new people was my goal. I decided to start a group in Iowa. We moved into a senior independent living residence called the Reserve. We had the location; all we needed was the materials and ladies to sew dresses.. We bought some fabric and accessories and had an organizational meeting. We were a small group, but dedicated, and within weeks we had produced 45 dresses, then 200 dresses. The real joy for me came seeing photos of the smiling faces of little girls as they twirl around in their very own dress. Your heart is full when you see the pride, self confidence and feeling of being beautiful on them for the very first time!
