Dress for Success® Calgary is the local, not-for-profit affiliate of Dress for Success Worldwide. Vision: Clothing women with hope head to toe. The mission of Dress for Success is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Through Dress for Success Calgary, our clients transition towards self-sufficiency by addressing their social and economic needs in relation to work, home and community. Each woman is a success story as she goes from unemployment to economic independence. Dress For Success changes the lives of Canadian and New Canadian women by outfitting them with clothing for employment. We give each client an average of 5 outfits - 20 to 30 articles of clothing - including shoes and various accessories. The clothes and accessories are meant to provide the client with a complete quality wardrobe for interviews and ongoing employment. Our professionally trained Wardrobe Consultants offer a by appointment only, one-on-one service in which they work together to choose attire that will best fit the client's needs and individual style. This in turn is a win win for not only the client but for the Employment Agency as well.
