VILSECK, Germany -- Elizabeth Rogers strikes a pose during Army Community Service's Dress for Less to Impress Fashion Show, here, March 19.

Due to new fiscal challenges and the decline in available job openings, ACS aimed to show clients how to dress professionally while on a budget in order to make the best impression on future employers. ACS used on-post resources such as the Vilseck Thrift Shop and the Exchange to buy the clothes in the show.

ACS specialists provided employment interview tips throughout the show and financial advice during intermission. All models were recruited from the USAG Grafenwoehr community.
