It starts
with the Suit
How does it work?
Available in our boutique, the Suiting program offers you professional outfits tailored to your work environment. Our volunteer stylists will guide you in selecting clothing that will help you feel confident and ready to join the job market. This service, as well as the clothing, is entirely free for women seeking employment. The outfits are made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors.
We are here to help you make a positive first impression, allowing you to dress with professionalism and confidence.
To book a second appointment after securing a job, please contact us by phone or email.

Working Women’s Group
Dress for Success Montreal is proud to offer its Professional Women’s Group (PWG)/Working Women’s Group (WWG) program in 2024. This dynamic program is targeted to persons over the age of 18, who identify as female and are searching for employment or are recently employed. This interactive and highly engaging program is for our clients, employed or in the process of securing work, where they will explore current topics in the workplace under the expert tutelage of Dress for Success Montreal’s facilitators/coaches in a safe and welcoming environment where learning is embraced, supported and celebrated.
The goal is to bring about a tightly knit group of women exploring together, sharing experiences and facing and addressing common issues in the workplace. The Professional Women’s Group/Working Women’s Group is based on a blended-learning model, with some sessions online and some held in person, with in-class work and time for reflection and engagement at home. The contents of each PWG/WWG will be based around Dress for Success Montreal’s five Foundation Pillars, to ensure consistency of subjects, topics and themes across all cohorts.
While the program is completely free to participants, registration is by means of an application process. For more information, contact us here.
