How it Works
How does renting work?
Browse our collection, select your dates, and reserve your item. Once your rental period is over, simply return it by the agreed return date.
What rental periods do you offer?
We offer 3 day and 5 day rental periods. If you are needing a longer period, reach out to us by email or instagram DM and we would be happy to work with you!
When does my rental start/end?
Your rental begins on the date selected at checkout and ends on your scheduled return date. Items must be dropped off or shipped back by this date to avoid a late fee!
Why do I need a card on file?
A card is required for security purposes and may be charged for late returns, damage, or missing items.
What if I need my dress longer than the rental period?
No problem! Reach out before your return date, and if the dress is available, we would be happy to extend your rental for an additional fee.
Sizing
Are try ons offered?
Yes! We offer try-ons by appointment for select dresses so you can feel confident before reserving your look. Contact us to book an appointment or check out our instagram for try-on times!
What if my order doesn’t fit?
We offer in-person try-ons in Athens so you can make sure the dress works for you before your rental. If you’re unsure about sizing or fit, we highly recommend scheduling a try-on before booking.
Can I alter my order to fit better?
Please don't use safety pins, sticky tape, fabric tape, glue, or anything that could damage the fabric. Damage caused by alterations may result in a damage fee.
