Tanzania citrus twang

Description

This is one of the first batch of training dresses tailors have made from the Tanzanian refugee camp. We’ve had a few challenges overcoming communication. The dress is of an acceptable quality and fit but please see this purchase as a donation to enable us to cover some of our purchasing costs.

Please help us help this wonderful community by purchasing one of these versatile dresses.

Our Dorcas dress is a dress for all seasons of life, including pregnancy and nursing. Place dress over head. Thread back ties through the loops and tie at the back. Pleat fabric flat under pocket. Wrap the front bodice around the back and draw the ties to the front, tying in a bow to sit over or under the bodice.

Our size-adjustable dress was specially designed so it could be made in remote parts of the world, just like Teso, where access to electricity is limited and sourcing trimmings difficult.

With your help and purchase we are able to support people out of situations of hardship by providing training, resources and pastoral care. We model our charity on our namesake Dorcas: a dressmaker from the early church, who welcomed others into her group, shared her sewing skills and took care of the marginalised in her community.
