Customers with armloads of clothing cycled through the Working Wardrobes thrift shop in Costa Mesa at a steady pace Monday morning, taking advantage of a 99-cent special. These are the kinds of looks that the local nonprofit Working Wardrobes, which provides “the dignity of work” to people in need with career training and wardrobe services, has specialized in for the past 30 years. Working Wardrobes launched in 1990 when it served 67 women from area domestic violence shelters. Working Wardrobes was based in Costa Mesa for five years before signing a 12-year lease on the Irvine location in 2016. Working Wardrobes’ shops are at 803 19th St. in Costa Mesa, 12761 Harbor Blvd.
