During a tour conducted by the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), design professionals were able to observe the regrowth of Dress for Success‘ Oklahoma City location following a fire in 2020. Since the fire, the nonprofit has experienced a 15% growth and opened a new 5,000-square-foot facility, designed in part by Guernsey.

Thanks to community support, the nonprofit has been able to provide local women, 70% of whom are single mothers, with business attire and career tools. The tour highlighted the facility’s thoughtful design and functionality, underscoring Dress for Success’ commitment to empowering women to achieve economic independence and professional advancement.
