You’re invited! ✨

For 20 years, our San Francisco boutique has been the place where women find more than an outfit.

It’s where they find their confidence, their next opportunity, and a community cheering them on.

Now that space has a fresh new look, and we want to celebrate with the people who make it possible: you.

Join us Wednesday, October 28 for an open house to celebrate the grand reopening of our refreshed boutique.

Thanks to Macy's and Dress for Success, our boutique has an updated fitting room, new displays and furnishings, and improved accessibility. 🎉

Thank you to Macy’s Union Square for 45 plus-size blouses, ATHLETA for 100 work-appropriate totes, and Benefit Cosmetics US for makeup and other goodies.

This month, we also reach a milestone: 20,000 Bay Area women served across San Francisco and San Jose since we opened our doors in 2006. All thanks to donors, volunteers, partners, and neighbors like you.

Open House Details:

⭐️ Wednesday, October 28, 5:30 to 7:00 PM
⭐️ 500 Sutter Street, Suite 218, San Francisco
⭐️ Snacks, w**e, and boutique tours.

No RSVP needed. Just drop by.

We can’t wait to see you!

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Workplace access goes well beyond ramps and elevators.

Swipe through for practical steps employers can take, inspired by the work of Keri Gray, Haben Girma, and Dr. Donna Walton:

✔️ Policy access, like simpler accommodation requests and flexible work options

✔️ Digital access, like captioned videos and screen-reader-friendly documents

✔️ Sensory and environmental access, like flexible dress codes and scheduled breaks

The women we serve reflect the full diversity of our community, including ability. When workplaces are designed with everyone in mind, more women can build careers where they thrive.

Which of these would make the biggest difference where you work? Tell us in the comments.

✨ Thank you to our volunteer stylist and Comms Committee member Lucy for creating this post for us. 💐

2155. That’s the current projection for when the gender pay gap closes.

We’ve never been willing to wait that long.

For 20 years, Dress for Success San Francisco has helped Bay Area women build careers, grow their income, and achieve economic mobility - without waiting for the world to catch up.

“Dress for Success brought my confidence up, and came at such an important time as I was currently going out on interviews but didn’t have professional clothing. I want to look and be confident and they helped me with that! I literally went into my interview the next day after my appointment with Dress for Success and landed the job!!” — Sonya B.

Every gift today goes directly to work that can’t wait. Thank you for making it possible. Donate to our 20Forward campaign: https://pro.gofundme.com/campaign/20forward-celebrating-20-years-of-dress-for-success-san-francisco/c814357
