Outside Auckland and want to ensure your rental fits perfectly? No problem! We offer try-ons outside Auckland with a $50 try-on fee per parcel (max 2 items) + postage.

Postal try-ons are for out of Auckland customers ONLY.

You have the option to rent for either 4 days or 8 days. The rental pricing remains consistent even if needed for less than the minimum period of 4 days.

If you require the garment for longer than 8 days, please get in touch and pricing.

Our prices vary depending on the dress, brand, and rental duration. However, most of our garments range between $100 - $200 for a standard period of four days.

No, we do not require or offer the purchase of rental insurance. However, each dress is thoroughly assessed upon return, and any damage incurred during the rental period will be charged accordingly. We take care to ensure our dresses are in excellent condition for every customer, and this approach allows us to maintain the quality of our rental items.

It is not essential to make a booking before you come in. However, we recommend doing so to ensure we have a changing room available for you. Plus, if there are specific dresses you’d like to try you can add them in your booking notes and we can put them aside for your appointment or let you know if they’re unavailable in store at your chosen date and time.

Let us know the brand, dress name, colour, size, and date of your event, and we'll pass your request onto our buying team to review.

If your request is approved, you will be required to pay the rental cost in advance + any associated shipping fees for the special order.

The payment is non-refundable if you change your mind, however, it can be transferred to another dress we have available.

You can make in-store bookings up until the day of your event. For online bookings with delivery, be sure to place your order by Wednesday before 12 PM for a weekend hire and select express shipping.

Please note: We cannot fulfil last minute deliveries to rural addresses as this takes additional time.
