Description

We have partnered with a small co-operative group in Tanzania. This group of 5 ladies have made their first production run which we have had chance to quality control and give feedback. The dresses have been priced keenly as technically there are some improvements to make, but these are serviceable products to purchase. Please consider encouraging them by buying one.

This fabric has dark coffee background with a beautiful floral print in red, lilac and mustard.

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.
