About dress hire
A wedding, a ball or a race day asks for a dress you will wear once. Dress hire on Rentoodle works because the dresses belong to other women rather than to a rental house: they are already hanging in wardrobes across the UK, waiting for a second outing. You choose the piece and the dates, wear it on the day, and send it back at the end of the weekend.
A wedding, a ball or a race day asks for a dress you will wear once. Dress hire on Rentoodle works because the dresses belong to other women rather than to a rental house: they are already hanging in wardrobes across the UK, waiting for a second outing. You choose the piece and the dates, wear it on the day, and send it back at the end of the weekend.
Because each dress has an owner, the sizing comes from someone who has actually worn it. The measurements, the length and the way the fabric sits are all in the listing, and you can message the lender before you book if you are between sizes. You might find a bridesmaid dress worn for one afternoon, or a designer coat bought for a single trip abroad. Shoes, bags and jewellery are often listed alongside.
A dress can go out on the Friday and come back on the Monday, well inside the two-day default minimum. Delivery is tracked, and local collection is there if the lender is nearby. Lenders part with pieces they care about because every hirer's identity is verified first, and because the Rentoodle Lender Guarantee covers each booking up to £30,000. Borrowers pay nothing on top of the price the lender sets.

Dress hire FAQs
How does dress hire work on Rentoodle?
Search for the style and size you want, choose your dates and book. Verified lenders either post the dress by tracked delivery to arrive on your start date or meet you for a local collection. You wear it, then send it back the same way by the end date. New hirers complete a one-time £2 identity check, and there is no booking fee on top of the lender's price.
How do I make sure I get the size right?
Listings are created by the owner, so the size, the measurements and the photographs come from the person who actually wears the dress. If anything is unclear, message the lender through Rentoodle before you book and ask about the fit, the length or the fabric. Booking a couple of extra days either side of your event also leaves room to try the dress on early.
What if the dress is damaged or stained?
Let the lender know straight away. Hirers are responsible for an item while it is in their possession, so you would cover cleaning, repair or replacement. Every booking is also covered by the Lender Guarantee up to £30,000, which protects the lender if a hirer does not put things right. That cover is one reason lenders list pieces they genuinely value.
