Has anyone ever rented a dress?

My friend did! It was $150 to rent and I think it is worth it in a sense because it was a designer gown that would have cost her thousands if she bought it. I bought my own gown but mine was cheap but now it's like storing it is a hassle since it's large.

They also have a wedding shop so I see they have wedding gowns. The issue though is I don't think they could be altered

I own a costume rental shop and we rent wedding dresses often. We just have a small selection, but for ladies with no need to save it or pass it on, this is an easy answer to save money and headache.

View Quoted Comment I just want to know if you rent the dress and alterations need to be made. How does that work?

I am willing to alter some (taking in the sides, hemming, if possible), but if it is major alterations, I cannot do. Usually the beaded ones are rented as is because it would tear up my machines and destroy the dress to alter it.
