Celebrating Dress Circle: One Year of Impact

On a beautiful Perth evening, our Dress Circle members and community came together to celebrate the power of collective giving.

Dress for Success Perth’s CEO, Kelli Evans, gave an update on the impact of Dress Circle members’ generosity, and a former client inspired everyone in the room with her story of bravery and triumph.

“It’s so encouraging to see that they [volunteers] are not judgmental. I had nothing – nothing!

They took a leap of faith on me. They believed in me, and so did everyone in this room. Everyone who supports this amazing organisation – you believe in women like us.

Now, I’m working in management. And I’m proud to say that I’m not stopping.” DFSP client, Dress Circle event, November 2023

We were also lucky enough to experience a styling demonstration by stylist to Perth’s stars, the fabulous Annelize Biggs, who, alongside daughter Shae-Ann, shared her tips on dressing for events and the festive season.

Dress Circle

Since the launch of Dress Circle in 2022, members have empowered 50 Western Australian women to access the clothing, career tools and confidence they need to reach meaningful employment, and thrive in work and life.

Dress Circle members’ annual gifts of $500 and $1,000 support some of our community’s most vulnerable women, helping our grassroots charity provide our clients with encouragement and practical assistance.

We are incredibly grateful to our Dress Circle members for supporting our clients with their generous and sustainable support.
