Dress for Success® Seattle

YWCA Dress for Success® Seattle promotes 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. Dress for Success Seattle is part of the national Dress for Success network, which provides interview suits, confidence boosts and career development services to more than 45,000 women in over 79 cities each year.

Locally, DFSS and the YWCA of Seattle-King County-Snohomish County have teamed up to bring these important services to women in need. Since March 2003, DFSS is housed at the YWCA building located in downtown Seattle at the corner of Fifth & Seneca.

"After lots of weeks of exhausting job search, the visit to Dress for Success Seattle was a much needed but never expected treat and a boost for my self-confidence. I applied for a full-time entry-level accounting position with benefits and was accepted. Every month I come back to the Professional Women's Group to network with other women and learn useful things for my career advancement."

Baseball and Dress for Success: A winning combination!

Dress for Success Seattle has been selected as the beneficiary of the Mariners Wives Collection again in 2007.

Each year, wives of Mariners players design a small collection of sportswear to be sold in Mariners Team Stores. Ten percent of the proceeds from the sale of these clothing items in 2007 will go to DFSS.

Items can only be purchased in the five Mariners Team Stores. For locations, click here.
