Gowns of Love

 

There are no footprints too small to make an impact on our hearts.

I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born, I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5

Gowns of Love is a 501(c)(3) organization that transforms donated wedding and formal dresses into baby gowns. The baby gowns are donated to local hospitals and will be provided to families who have lost their babies. Each Gowns of Love set includes two identical gowns (one for pictures and burial; the second is a keepsake for the family). In addition to the two gowns, each Gowns of Love set includes a baby blanket and a keepsake satchel for the families to take home items such as footprints, handprints, pictures, etc.

Losing a baby is heartbreaking; having to think about finding something for your baby to wear is more than a parent should have to bear. Gowns of Love helps ease that burden through this simple gesture.

Gowns of Love needs your help! We need seamstresses to make the Gowns of Love. We also need volunteers to disassemble, wash and iron the dresses to prep them for the seamstresses. If you have a wedding or formal dress in storage, please consider donating it to Gowns of Love to be transformed. As a newly-established non-profit, Gowns of Love will gladly accept any cash donation to help offset expenses such as batting, ribbons, marketing and other supplies.
