We serve families, photographers and creative professionals with nationwide couture rentals and made-to-order custom designs for flower girls, pageants, birthdays, weddings, holidays, portraits, maternity, milestone celebrations and one-of-a-kind concepts.

Our philosophy is that quality couture should feel special without feeling out of reach. We focus on thoughtful construction, quality materials, flexible fit, beautiful movement and distinctive details. By offering both rental and custom options, clients can choose the experience and investment that fits their moment. We also create custom gowns, coordinated attire and styling pieces for photographer client closets, editorial concepts and creative sets.

Thoughtfully Designed. Made for Meaningful Moments.

The gown makes the moment feel extraordinary. The memory makes it unforgettable.

Our Philosophy

More than a dress. It becomes part of her story.

We believe couture should feel special from the very first moment it is imagined. Every Bentley + Lace design is created with thoughtful attention to movement, proportion, comfort, craftsmanship and the person who will wear it, whether for a portrait, birthday, wedding, pageant, celebration or once-in-a-lifetime milestone. From first sketch to final stitch, our goal is to create pieces that feel personal, beautifully made and worthy of the memories they become part of.

First sketch to final stitch. Thoughtful design. Heartfelt service. Unforgettable moments.

Before You Book or Order

Questions we answer every day.

Rental timing, fit, custom gowns, shipping and studio experiences should be clear before you reach checkout.

How do Bentley + Lace gown rentals work?

Reserve an available gown for your dates. Your seven-day rental experience includes arrival and preparation on Day 1, five full usage days on Days 2–6, and the scheduled FedEx return on Day 7 using the included prepaid return label.

How do I choose the right rental size?

Use current body measurements and compare them with the exact finished garment measurements on the individual gown listing. The listing measurements take priority over the size label, and many gowns include adjustable ties, elastic or corset-style construction.

Should I rent or order a custom gown?

Rent when you want to wear an existing Bentley + Lace design temporarily. Choose custom when you want a gown created around your measurements, color story, event, design details or a look you want to keep.

Are rental gowns cleaned between customers?

Yes. Every Bentley + Lace rental returns to our North Texas studio for professional care, inspection, preparation and steaming before the next reservation.

Do you ship couture gowns nationwide?

Yes. Bentley + Lace ships rental gowns and custom couture throughout the United States. Rental orders include a prepaid return label.

Do you offer gowns for photographers and client closets?

Yes. Photographers can reserve couture for fine-art portraits, children, teens, maternity, seasonal sessions and client closet experiences without purchasing and maintaining a large permanent gown inventory.

What is a Dream Gown Session?

A Dream Gown Session is a guided portrait experience that combines Bentley + Lace couture wardrobe, styling and photography at our North Texas studio.

What is the difference between Dream Gown Sessions and Studio Rental?

Dream Gown Sessions include the guided couture portrait experience. Studio Rental is for photographers and creators who bring their own creative team and need a private North Texas space, with optional backdrops and couture additions.

What is Dress Club?

Dress Club is Bentley + Lace's annual membership with preferred pricing and member benefits, including 25% off rentals, 5% off custom gowns, priority access and member-only offers.

How long do custom gowns take?

Most custom gowns take 8–14 weeks from design approval. Rush options may be available depending on the design, materials and event date. View custom pricing + timelines.

Can I visit the Bentley + Lace studio without an appointment?

Our Aubrey / Krugerville location is a working couture studio, rental warehouse and appointment-based photography studio. It is not open for public walk-ins; studio access and appointments must be reserved in advance.
