Addressing the wardrobe needs of women for work or a fun day with friends is where Sallie Matlack’s expertise as a fashion coordinator comes into play.

Her mission statement “to help women look their personal best by designing a wardrobe that is stylish, flattering and easy care with a minimal investment.” empowers her and her clients.

“Imagine creating 8-11 wrinkle-resistant and machine washable outfits from only five pieces at a cost less than $35 per outfit. Add that to the money you save on dry cleaning bills, you just might make it to the beach this summer after all!” commented Sallie.

A North Carolina resident for over 40 years she helps various charities, educational institutions and non-profit groups. Recently she was asked to speak to the graduating seniors of the College of Textiles at NC State. Her semi-annual presentations to the women at Job Start, a program designed to jump start female inmates preparing for release from the Raleigh Women’s Correctional Center, are in keeping with her mission statement.

“Giving back to the people in our community is important. Hearing these ladies tell me ‘they are glad to have me help them with fashion and money-saving tips,’ and ‘the quick change with the total new look each time was awesome!’ and ‘the clothing you brought is stylish and easy to take care of; great for people on the go,’ makes the time I spend with them worthwhile.” said Sallie.

Sallie Matlack has a background in public speaking and is available to talk to women on various subjects related to fashion. Her presentations have covered topics such as the benefits of mix-and-match wardrobing, how to dress for success, and figure enhancement.
