How to Rent the Dress of your Dreams
The hardest part of renting a dress is going to be choosing from such an impressive line up of outfits. Filtering by designer, occasion, colour etc will put you on track in finding that dream dress of a lifetime. Once you’ve selected your dresses book either a 2 night or 7-night rental period. If you’re concerned about sizes, every order can include up to 2 long or 3 short dresses. You try them all on and wear your favourite. After the event, post them all back using the free return label and receive a refund for anything unworn. Easy!
