More women became recipients of professional clothing following the latest undertaking of Dress for Success, a group that aims to help women who are in need of business attire in order to get back in their feet. The global financial crisis has resulted to more women getting retrenched from their respective jobs and in order to get new ones, they need professional clothing.
Dress for Success CEO Joi Gordon said that the organization helps women get back on their feet, become independent and more confident.
Founder Pat Nathan added that the massive support from the community and volunteers has made all these things possible that’s why they will continue to do the good deed and hopefully the others will follow suit.
Companies are encouraged to make donations and can make their donations tax-deductible. Aside from professional clothing, the group also looks for dresses, purses and shoes.
Singer-actress Vanessa Williams, popular for her role as fashion icon Wilhelmina Slater in the hit TV series “Ugly Betty,” has reportedly shared her good fortune by donating women’s business attire for those in need. 
The 46-year old actress teamed up with Allergan and Dress for Success in this charitable activity. The group has been helping women look for jobs.
Williams stated in an interview with an online website that she’s been actively participating in activities that are for a good cause. Donating women’s business attire is just one of her projects. She revealed that she’s been an active supporter of Dress for Success for several years. She just recently teamed up with Allergan, a pharmaceutical giant that manufactures Botox.
Williams stood out among the other Hollywood actresses after openly admitting that she’s been using Botox. She said that she’s not ashamed in admitting that she’s getting cosmetic treatments. She added that Botox is a less dangerous procedure than other invasive form of surgery.
As for the hit TV series, the actress said that she has a vague idea with what happens in the new season but revealed that there’s going to be a musical-themed episode which they will shoot later this year.
