Get help from a trained stylist to look and feel your best. Stylists are here to help you package your best self in job search and work.   Dress for Success  (DFS) is an international non-profit organization that provides services at locations in a number of locations in Canada.  These services are provided free of charge by referral and appointment only to clients in financial need of assistance.  The clothes are either gently used or new, and in outstanding condition.  The stylist works with each client to find clothing that suits the client’s  profession, personality, body shape, skin tone and values.  

Most information on their websites refer to women but most locations also provide services to men.  Contact their office nearest to you, listed below, to find out about getting referred to and accessing their services. 

This some of DFS has to say about what they do and why they do it.

“Dress for Success a global movement for change, empowering women to obtain safer and better futures.

We provide each client with professional attire to secure employment, but we are about much more than simply a new outfit. Besides physically equipping the client with apparel and accessories, our programs furnish her with a confidence that she carries forever and the knowledge that she can actively define her life, the direction she takes and what success means to her.”
