Homecoming Dresses Donated to Underprivileged Girls

A new charity called the “Believe in Yourself Project” is helping to replace the poor body image that afflicts many girls and women. 

This image is heightened by what the traditional fashion industry deems as beautiful: Women are expected to appear a certain way and live up to a manufactured and unrealistic notion of what beauty is. At the same time, strained finances can prevent many girls from keeping up with what’s trending or cool, making them feel isolated among their friends for not being able to afford clothing that is deemed as "in" socially. In an attempt to promote a positive body image, founder of online fashion site http://www.ustrendy.com has created the " Believe in Yourself Project.

Does baby terry cloth exist?  Or do we simply think baby terry fabric exists because terry fabric is often associated with babies (baby towels, etc.)

Terry cloth is familiar as the material that is used for bath towels and washcloths. It is also used by clothing manufacturers to make garments, such as the classic bath robe and slippers, as well as athletics warm-up suits and exercise gear.

Terry is a type of fabric with a plush texture that is soft to the touch and has highly absorbent qualities. Terry cloth features a high loop pile, which may be on one or both sides of the fabric. 

Cotton is the principal material used to manufacture terry cloth, but it may also include polyester, rayon, linen, or blends of spandex or Lycra to add stretch.
