The world of work is changing, and women’s career journeys are more complex than ever. The barriers have evolved, but the gaps remain clear. Access, confidence, opportunity, and sustained support are still out of reach for too many.
Success Starts Now. Dress for Success has evolved to meet this moment. Our approach is built on five interconnected pillars working together to support women at every stage of success.
This is our commitment: a global, holistic network designed to help women not just survive, but advance.
#DFSIgnitingCareers #DFSTransformingFutures #HerCareerStartsNow #SuccessStartsNow
Success starts now, in every language.
The women we serve reflect the full diversity of race, age, cultural backgrounds, ability, language, education, and gender identity. Our goal is to create equity and access so everyone can secure impactful work and thrive.
From one church basement in New York City to a worldwide Global Network, our impact continues to grow. Today, we are a strong global community across 130 locations in 15 countries, supporting more than 1.3 million women on their path to economic mobility.

There’s something powerful about women leading in community.
In partnership with KnitWell Group, we launched The Common Thread TM, bringing together women leaders to reflect, challenge one another, and shape the future of leadership. This remarkable group spoke candidly about what leadership demands today, and they left with renewed courage and a commitment to lead differently and to lift others as they do. Our hope is that this growing community and network will continue advancing these ideas and driving meaningful change.
A special thank you to our incredible partners and participants for contributing your insight, leadership, and energy to these conversations

Meryl Made Prada Pay It Forward 👠✨
Following the release of The Devil Wears Prada in 2006, Meryl Streep suggested that the film’s iconic wardrobe, valued at more than $1 million, be auctioned off to benefit charitable organizations, including Dress for Success Worldwide.
Nearly 20 years later, we’re still grateful for moments like these, where fashion, generosity, and community come together in support of women and opportunity.
Thank you to everyone who helped turn style into impact and help women move forward in work and in life 💫
