The girls began their project by collecting pillow cases, fabric remnants and button down shirts. With the help of 80 generous people, the girls turned the fabric into 50 dresses for less fortunate girls.

The girls will be holding a meet and greet Monday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the bookstore. The dresses will remain on display through July 27.
