There is another group making the dresses especially for Hati. A local shop had a work day last week and have 75 dresses in process and 35 shorts. I talked with the folk at Dresses for Africa and they said they don't get many shorts for the boys. I made the samples and the dress took me about 30 min and the shorts less. We put draw strings in the shorts as it would be difficult to estimate the size of the elastic. We used regular fabric and with a 45" piece of 45" (or so) fabric you can get at least two from the tube you make. the size depends on the length so a 45" length could make 3 of the smaller ones. We set up an assembly line with some serging the edges while others but arm holes and others put in elastic, etc etc etc. We made the draw strongs from double folded bias tape.
