Pre-loved fashion sales calendar

Our fashion sales give pre-loved clothing a second life while helping fund Dress for Success NSW & ACT. Donated items are first used to provide quality outfits for clients preparing for interviews, new roles and other important milestones.

When donations are surplus to current needs or not suitable for client appointments, they are redirected into our fundraising fashion sales. These sales help reduce textile waste and raise vital funds to support women across our services.

Here’s where you can find our upcoming fashion sale dates across Sydney, Illawarra and Newcastle-Hunter. Save the date and keep an eye on our socials for ticket release dates.
