Rent a Wedding Gown?
I am interested in renting a gown and wanted to know if anyone knew of places that rented gowns in the DC, MD, VA area. I know I could get a really cheap dress at David's but I wanted to look into this option... Thanks!

If you want to stay in that price range look into what is called "Brides Against Breast Cancer" they have gown sales that range from $99-$800. I was a volunteer at one this year and the gowns were amazing. Look it up online to see if there is one nearby.

I am involved with the Brides Against Breast cancer group!
It is a wonderful program,
many celebrity and regular brides donate designer gowns that had cost thousands $$$$$ for the charity. They have traveling fashion shows and more,
Go to www.pinkenvelopeproject.org for more info.
You would be getting a dream gown and granting wishes to women with terminal cancer! A win win situation!!
My niece is donating her gown and it was well over $7000. and in excellent condition.
Have a Beautiful wedding!!

Hi,
I know nothing about renting wedding gowns, but if I may suggest. Why spend $300 renting a wedding dress when I'm sure you could find one for that much or less. A few ladies on wedding wire have posted a few websites where you could buy gowns online so I did a little research for you and found 2:

For the same money you could find one on craigslist or ebay.

This online boutique makes custom gowns for $250.
