I love fashion (you may be able to tell since I blog about it often), and I adore it even more when there’s a good cause attached to a label. For example, I am totally into Rebecca & Drew right now. Not only does this line make great clothing that is perfect for the workplace, but they also have been linked to Dress for Success, an organization that provides business attire to women searching for employment.

The Rebecca & Drew brand all started when two talented designers (Rebecca Matchett and Drew Paluba) were introduced and decided that they wanted to pair up to create fashionable, and fitting, clothing for the workplace. Their goal was to design items that fit according to a woman’s body, not those that could be categorized as small, medium, or large. And thus, TrioFit was born. This sizing system takes into consideration the three basic female measurements: the chest circumference, bra cup size, and torso height.
In addition to fitting women nicely, this line also has some great pieces that transition well from a day of work to a night out on the town. I happen to have a Rebecca & Drew dress, and let me tell you — it’s fantastic. It can be worn for many different occasions.
So, what better a brand than Rebecca & Drew to partner up with a foundation dedicated to helping women “Dress for Success?” Their contributions to the organization include the hosting of a four-part lecture series, a trunk show, and the sale of a special shirt, the red button-down Dress for Success shirt.
All proceeds from the shirt go directly to Dress for Success. Yup, you read that correctly, 100% of the profits. If you are feeling generous and have some extra funds to spare, you can purchase this item on the Rebecca & Drew Web site.

That is great that Rebecca & Drew contribute to “Dress for Success!” And their clothes are super cute too. I always have trouble finding clothes that fit properly, and the sizing system that they have come up with sounds interesting.
