Empowering Women with Style and Confidence since 2000

At the Perfect Fit for Working Women, a program of the YWCA Allentown, more than 600 women each year find the clothing and confidence necessary to start a job and build a career.

Services

At a woman’s first visit to the Perfect Fit, she is greeted by a personal stylist who helps her shop from our well-stocked boutique of women’s professional and business casual clothing to select the perfect outfit to ace her job interview.

Once she gets the job, our client returns for a full week’s worth of clothing perfectly suited to her new career and does not have to spend her first paycheck on a new work wardrobe.

We carry business professional, business casual, casual, and uniform clothing, as well as shoes, jewelry, handbags, accessories, and personal care items to ensure that all women returning to work have what they need to be successful in their new career.

More than clothing, we offer professional development courses in areas including networking, effective communication, self-care in the workplace, and business basics, while serving each woman with the respect and dignity she deserves.

Since 2000, we have served more than 11,000 women, all referred to us by more than 75 social service partners located throughout the Lehigh Valley.
