Rent Your Party Dress

Too many holiday parties to attend this season? Lucky you, but what are you going to wear? We run down our favourite rental websites and their show stopping party dresses.

It’s that time of the year again. Christmas decorations are already up, and we’ve accepted more than a few Christmas party invitations. So now it’s time to plan your outfits. If you’re the type of person that wouldn’t be seen dead in the same outfit twice this season, it can be a stressful and expensive time of year. Why spend hours trawling e-commerce sites, or shopping malls trying to find the perfect item, knowing you’ll likely only wear it once? Instead of buying a lot of new party pieces, we’re going to be renting. Simply choose an item and how long you want to borrow it for. The item will then be delivered to your door. Once you’re done enjoying it, just return it and they will take care of the cleaning for you. Sounds great right? Not to mention the fact that you won’t be cluttering up your wardrobe with items you may not wear again.

When it comes to services and price points, there are lots of companies to choose from. Front Row and Oprent offer amazing designer pieces, straight from the runway. Nothing to Wear stocks an incredible range of vintage items, including Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior. If you prefer to rent high street then Hire Street UK is our favourite for statement party dresses that cost a fraction of the price of buying.

We love the idea of borrowing an amazing outfit for the night, then returning it for someone else to enjoy too. Plus, you pay a lot less than normal retail prices, meaning it’s far more purse friendly to be seen in a different outfit at every occasion this holiday season.
