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.

Pay 50% upfront per dress, try both on at home, and choose your final look.

Return the unworn dress — tag still attached. Simply pay the remainder for the dress you wear.

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) or email (cole@stylerotate.com).

Once you return the item and our team has audited it, you’ll receive a cash refund minus delivery fees — the security tag must still be attached
