Dress for Success Indianapolis is preparing for its annual Stepping Out in Style fundraiser on Sept. 25, 2026; the event is sold out with about 1,300 people expected to attend. The evening will include a fashion show featuring local designers, a diamond dig, wine and spirit pool, a raffle and community vendors, organizers said.
The organization provides professional clothing, resume and interview help, LinkedIn support and ongoing professional development for women preparing to enter or advance in the workforce.
