Dress for Success Austin

The mission of Dress for Success Austin is to empower women+ to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. Simply put, we help women get jobs and advance in their careers.

Since our opening in 2003, DFSA has served over 17,000 Central Texas women. In addition to providing professional clothing, we help women build the lifelong skills they need to succeed in their career through our six active workforce development programs. After over two years of serving women exclusively through virtual services during the pandemic, we reopened in April for in-person services. Since then, we have seen client appointments increase by 100%.

As we continue to navigate the effects of the pandemic, we expect the need for our services to continue to rise. In order to continue to serve the influx of women needing support, we need your help.

Did you know that when you lift up one woman, she brings six others with her? YOU are changing the lives of the women in our community and their families by providing the funding we need to keep our workforce development programs running. When women come to us seeking professional clothing or career advice, it is because of you that we can give them the tools they need to succeed!

See how the support we provide can change the lives of the women we serve in the video below. Myra came to us over 10 years ago, new to Texas and looking for help in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and now puts her chemistry degree to good use doing cancer research. Hear her story in her own words (you won't regret it).
