Rentals start from a minimum of 2 days and can be as long as you and the lender agree, with a maximum rental period of 90 days, subject to availability.

For example, if your event is on the 1st of October, your booking period should start on that date. This means the lender needs to guarantee the dress arrives on the 1st of October. You would then need to ship it back on the 2nd of October, ensuring the owner receives it on the 3rd of October. This would count as a 2-day rental period.
