We sometimes ask people who donate dresses or suits to us to write a little note to the future recipient. Sometimes its a little history of the item - but sometimes its just a lovely way to pass on the love to someone. #dressitforward

A note from Layton: "This suit meant a lot to me and made me look handsome. It inspired me to strive to dress that way everyday and has given me confidence in moving ahead." #DressForSuccess #DressItForward #Matric

Flashback to 2018 before we had our premises in Fish Hoek! We would visit teens directly in schools with cases full of dresses. Much more chaotic! But we LOVED seeing all those smiles! #dressitforward

Will you be my valentine? ❤️ We need formal prom dresses and suits for high school graduating teens. If you think you have something to donate, please get in touch: hello@dressitforward.net #dressitforward #valentines

Creating smiles - that's what we do! And what we mean by that is that we're in the business of making people smile, of creating happy memories, and inspiring people to stay in education through positive associations. #DonateToday #MakeADifference #Dressitforward

We're all about making dreams come true. And dreaming about the dress you'll wear to the high school prom is a privilege when so few make it that far. Here's Thanga dreaming about her perfect dress... #dressitforward #makingdreamscometrue

So few teens in the townships surrounding Cape Town make it to their final year of high school that those who do often find themselves the first in their family to do so. Could you spare a few £, $ or Rand to help our cause? Donate via https://t.co/C8I5vVmKV7 #dressitforward

When you find THE dress! All that hard work, that studying, the anxiety over exams - it all seems worth it. If you feel you could help someone go to their prom, please donate generously to our cause! https://t.co/R7L2As922r #dressitforward #matric #donatenow

Guess who visited Ocean View High School - in the township where Dress It Forward began this week?! @princeandprincessofwales #oceanviewproud #dressitforward #royalsealofapproval

Flashback to this time last year when we opened the doors for the first time to our fabulous boutique in Fish Hoek! #dressitforward #oneyearanniversary #matric

An inspiring presentation to us today at lunch from Clair Titley of local #Bath charity Dress it Forward https://t.co/lQsdzLU3IM . The charity helps inspire young people in the townships of South Africa make better life choices by celebrating academic hard work and success.

This is Monique, taking a moment before she heads into the dance to celebrate all those years of hard work. Its an honour to be able to help these students. #dressitforward #CelebrationTime #matric
