DRESSES FROM NEVERLAND is a new sustainable disaster relief project from 2300 which aims to provide dresses for little girls whose families were recently afflicted by the historic levels of flooding and tornado outbreaks in Appalachia. As a sustainable initiative, we’ve decided to use pillowcases to make beautiful summer dresses for these girls, many of whom lost everything from these natural disasters.
A pillow is magical and associated with childhood dreams. Since our effort is in loving memory of Michael Jackson, who devoted himself to helping children his entire life, we decided to call the project, "Dresses from Neverland."
The idea for this project came from 2300 supporter Mary Kelly-Ciancetta, who was inspired by designer friend Erin Daley, who had already sewn pillowcase dresses for girls in Africa and Haiti. We are indebted to Mary and Erin for dedicating their time and talents to leading our sewing efforts for this project!
HOPE 4 KIDS INTERNATIONAL - DRESS A GIRL AROUND THE WORLD
The organization to whom we’re donating the dresses is Dress a Girl Around the World which is a division of Hope 4 Women International. Both are under the umbrella of Hope 4 Kids International which was founded in 1973. We are working with Rep. Rachel Cinader to ensure that the dresses are delivered to the locations where they are most needed.

DONATIONS
-Pillowcases of all sizes (gently used or new), thread, double-fold bias tape, and items to accessorize the dresses such as buttons, patches, appliqués and ribbons.
