An all-volunteer group that dresses the unemployed for success is looking for thrifty shoppers who love a good deal on women’s apparel. 

Dress for Success Tallahassee Founder Wendy Hedrick said her organization is holding its second fashion sale this weekend to help pay the bills. 

“We are all volunteers, right now, but we do still have bills just like any other business,” said Hedrick, who donates 20 hours a week herself. “We have to pay rent, electricity and the Internet to keep everything running.” 

Hedrick said unemployed clients on the hunt for a job are referred to Dress for Success by other support organizations and their visit starts in their boutique at 2901 E. Park Ave. There, clients are fitted with outfits and accessories donated by people in the community or stores that were facing overstock.

“Some of our clients will think something doesn’t fit right because it doesn’t feel normal — like street clothes would,” Hedrick said. “We have to tell them when they’re wearing the outfit that they definitely look the part.”

“We love to hear those success stories,” Hedrick said. 

Because Dress for Success only fills its racks with donations, it cannot control its stock by popular sizes or styles, so that leaves a lot remaining in the store. 

“It’s all great stuff but if we have one woman come in who’s small and she gets a job, she’ll come back and get three more things that fit her,” she said. “Then, we won’t have enough of that size.” 

This weekend’s sale, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday in the old Publix at the Northwood Center, is designed to thin out the stock at bargain basement prices.
