  As one of the co-founders of Tailored Impressions, I'd like to personally thank savy shopper for the great comments! We are very proud of the way our store is perceived in the community but more importantly how it is perceived by the clients we serve there everyday. Most individuals who are looking to return to the workforce have to sort through bins of discarded clothing to find something to wear to an interview. At Tailored Impressions (a social enterprise of Tailored For Success), each client is treated with dignity and respect; and given high quality free designer clothing to make a positive first impression. By supporting our resale store, you support our clients and I thank you!
