Dress up parties to dress for success

Up to last year I was president of Dress for Success Northland. This charity supports women as they move to self-sufficiency by preparing them for and then supporting them in, employment.

Women come in all shapes and sizes both visually and in their heads; having an independant opinion about what looks good or great or terrible on you, is so very important when wishing and needing to make that first great impression.

On several occasions I gave presentations on DfS and its activities these were to community groups of all types. Without fail I would be approached at the end of my talk by people sorely needing this kind of service but ofcourse not meeting the criteria of this organisation.

On Sunday at the dress up party women of all shapes and sizes were able to get similar feedback, as well as be measured up for collection pieces that would fit the unique them. How great is that to feel at ease and confident in your appearance as you face your daily life.
