Rent With Confidence

The Back-Up Dress

Best for: Having a second option ready for your event day- not for trying on ahead of time.

Two options on event day. Zero stress.

Book two dresses for the same event date using code BACKUP26 at checkout — the cheaper dress gets 50% off. Try both when they arrive and wear your favourite; return both, with the tag still attached on the one you don't wear.

Browse Back-Up Dresses

Our Fit Guarantee

Best for: Peace of mind when ordering your renal

Ideal if you dont want to add a back-up dress.

Every rental is covered by our Fit Guarantee. 

Let us know within 12 hours of delivery via WhatsApp (079 393 4213). If you selected courier collection, we'll arrange this as soon as possible; if self-returning, the item must be back with us by 1pm the next morning. Once returned and audited, you'll receive a cash refund, less delivery fees and a R150 handling fee.
