The Angel Gowns Project International

Through our International Program you are able to help a family feed, clothe, and educate their children. Your dress will give hope to families both in the USA and internationally.

This program has become a hope-filled circle of giving, loving, sharing, healing, and growth without borders. Glenna’s story is only one of many lives being impacted by this project.

Start the Transformation, Donate Your Dress

We sincerely thank you for being a part of our mission to help women and families around the world to heal, find purpose, build confidence, and feel empowered, through receiving and creating angel gowns.

We are so excited that you are participating in our International Program!

Clean, Smoke-Free, and Odor Free Dresses

Please look at your dress to be sure it is clean! You do not have to pay to get your dress dry cleaned prior to sending it if it is in good condition (without multiple stains, smoke-free, and free of other strong odors). We are unable to return dresses we receive that we cannot use because they are not clean enough. Feel free to remove any tulle on the dress before packaging it up. Tulle is bulky and can’t be used in angel gowns. This will save on shipping costs but is not necessary if you’d rather send it fully intact.

Donation

You can make your donation below. Donations will be used 100% to keep this project sustainable. They will be used to pay the seamstresses and staff, materials, and other associated costs. The seamstresses use the money for their families’ basic needs like food, water, and education for their children. Angel gowns will always be provided to grieving families at no cost.

Mailing Address

After you submit this form, you will receive an email with a mailing address for your dress. PLEASE add our email address angelgowns@realimprints.org to your address book so the email doesn’t go to spam. If an email doesn’t come, please check your spam folder.

Thank you for being a part of The Angel Gowns Project!! You are making a difference in the lives of the seamstresses and in the lives of those who receive the angel gowns!
