Our Mission The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Dress for Success has suited more than 850,000 women worldwide since our inception in 1997.

Dress for Success Saskatoon was launched in October 2012 by Fay Gabrielson and Cathy Mills. These co-founders saw the need for DFS services to help disadvantaged women in the community move toward economic self-sufficiency. Fay remains with the organization today. Our Vision Our vision is a world where women do not live in poverty. We strive for a world where all women are financially independent, are treated with dignity and respect and are directly impacting their lives and those of their families. We aspire to a world that fully harnesses the power of women and recognizes their role in economic sustainability. Our Purpose “We are about much more than simply a new outfit.” Our purpose is to offer long-lasting solutions that enable women to break the cycle of poverty. Dress for Success is part of a global movement for change, empowering women to obtain safer and better futures. We provide each client with professional attire to secure employment, but we are about much more than simply a new outfit. Besides physically equipping the client with apparel and accessories, our programs furnish her with a confidence that she carries forever and the knowledge that she can actively define her life, the direction she takes and what success means to her.
