You Wear It Well Partnership - Empowering Confidence: MOTRATI's Commitment to Vancouver Grads
At MOTRATI, we believe fashion should be accessible to everyone, especially during life’s most memorable moments. That’s why we’re proud to announce our ongoing partnership with You Wear It Well, a remarkable New Westminster charity providing graduation outfits to students at no cost. Our recent donation of nine designer dresses – including plus-size and long-sleeve options and 150 clear plastic hangers, valued at $4,157, represents our commitment to making graduation night special for every student in our community.
Why This Partnership Matters
Graduation is a milestone that every student should experience with confidence and joy. Unfortunately, financial barriers can make this difficult for some families. You Wear It Well addresses this need directly by offering free grad attire, and we’re honoured to support their mission through our Diamond Level partnership.
Our donation includes five elegant gowns and four sophisticated midi dresses from our curated collection, specifically including plus-size options and long-sleeve dresses that were incredibly well-received,” explain sisters of MOTRATI. “The feedback from graduates was overwhelming – many shared they had never found oversized grad dresses or long-sleeve formal wear before, and they were thrilled to find options that made them feel comfortable and beautiful. These pieces represent the same quality and attention to detail that our customers have come to expect from our Vancouver boutique.”
Inclusive Fashion Philosophy in Action
At MOTRATI, our fashion philosophy centers on the belief that every body is beautiful and deserves to feel spectacular in their clothing. This donation perfectly exemplifies our commitment to “inclusive sizing” and “diverse style options”. As highlighted on our Community Engagement page, we’re dedicated to ensuring that fashion serves everyone in our community, regardless of size, shape, or personal style preferences.
The enthusiastic response to our plus-size and long-sleeve donations reinforces why inclusive fashion matters. Every graduate deserves to find their perfect fit and style, and we’re committed to providing options that celebrate all body types and style preferences. This aligns perfectly with You Wear It Well’s mission to ensure every student can wear an outfit that makes them look and feel their best.
Building Lasting Community Connections
This donation marks the beginning of an annual commitment to You Wear It Well cause. As a Diamond Level partner, we’re dedicated to supporting Vancouver and Lower Mainland students year after year. This initiative aligns perfectly with our brand values of community empowerment and inclusive fashion.
The partnership extends beyond financial support. We’re committed to raising awareness about You Wear It Well’s vital work throughout the Greater Vancouver area. By sharing their mission with our customers and community, we hope to encourage additional support for this important cause.
Quality Fashion for Special Moments
The donated pieces showcase MOTRATI’s dedication to exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. Each dress was carefully selected from our collection of evening wear and special occasion dresses, ensuring that students receive outfits that make them look and feel extraordinary.
For those inspired by our donation and looking for their own special occasion attire, we invite you to visit our South Granville boutique. Our collection includes an extensive range of designer evening dresses in inclusive sizes, including the plus-size and long-sleeve options that were so appreciated by this year’s graduates.
