It is every little girl’s dream to one day own a huge closet filled with colourful, elegant, sophisticated dresses. Kristy Wieber and Lisa Delorme of Rent frock Repeat are making those childhood dreams come true.
Thanks to their Canada-wide dress rental service, there’s no need to blow your paycheque on an evening gown you may only wear once or twice. Simply select a dress from the exhaustive range of styles, pick a date, and wait for it to arrive on your doorstep. Your choice of garment is registered along with the event information so you won’t arrive at a gala only to find your look has been scooped. And since the cost of renting a dress is a fraction of the retail price, you don’t require a fairy godmother to have your Cinderella moment.
“It’s not just pretty and fun. It makes a lot of sense,” says Lisa. “There’s no buyer’s remorse, no wondering when you’ll wear it again.” This is especially helpful for women who go to multiple work-related events with the same colleagues or clients, or for those who attend high-profile events where photographs are taken.
Rent frock Repeat also offers a selection of cocktail and party dresses so that their clientele has access to the latest trends without worrying about the longevity of a piece. And the accessories section provides a selection of purses and jewellery to finish off the look. The service even offers maternity wear for those looking to dress up their baby bump for a glam occasion.
Why buy when you can borrow? This creative Toronto-based service lets clients rent designer gowns and accessories at up to 90 per cent off the actual retail price. Dresses are available is a variety of colours, cuts and sizes and are shipped directly to your doorstep. Stylish wares can also be picked up in person at the Roncesvalles showroom if you want some in-person fashion advice. And don’t worry if you spill your prom punch on your dress — dry cleaning costs are included in the rental rates.
