Renting couture, without the guesswork.
Choose the gown, check the fit, reserve your dates, enjoy five full usage days, and return it with the included prepaid FedEx label. Here is exactly what happens from reservation to return.
From reservation to return.
Find the gown.
Browse by size, color, silhouette, occasion or collection. Open the individual gown listing to see the exact garment details.
Check the measurements.
Compare current body measurements with the actual garment measurements. Couture fit can vary from gown to gown.
Reserve your dates.
Choose an available rental window on the gown listing. High-demand seasonal and portrait dates can reserve early.
We prepare + ship.
Your gown is professionally cared for, inspected, prepared and shipped for your confirmed rental.
Enjoy five usage days.
Day One is arrival. Days Two through Six are your five full usage days for your session, event or creative styling.
Return on Day Seven.
Repack all rental pieces and use the included prepaid FedEx return label to send the gown home.
Seven days. Five are yours to create.
Arrival and return are separate from your five full usage days, so shipping logistics are not stealing time from the reason you rented the gown.
Receive + prepare.
Unpack, inspect and prepare the gown. We do not recommend scheduling your main session for arrival day.
Full usage days.
Photograph it. Wear it. Style it. These five complete days are the heart of your rental.
Send it home.
Repack all rental pieces and drop the shipment at FedEx using the included prepaid return label.
Early carrier delivery does not automatically extend your confirmed rental usage dates.
More time to make the image.
The rental schedule is designed around how photographers and families actually use couture — with room for preparation, weather, fittings, travel and creativity.
What happens behind the scenes.
Your rental comes back to Bentley + Lace for professional care, inspection and preparation before it begins its next story.
The portrait lasts. The dress does not need to live in your closet.
Renting lets you choose the couture piece that belongs to this exact session, holiday, birthday or milestone — without purchasing, cleaning and storing a specialty gown after one use.
A different gown for a different story.
Choose what fits this session, milestone, color story or season without being tied to a previous purchase.
No couture storage plan.
Enjoy the layers, trains and volume without storing a specialty garment after the moment has passed.
We handle professional aftercare.
Do not wash or professionally clean the rental. Return it according to your instructions and we take it from there.
More flexibility for photographers.
Build an evolving client wardrobe without purchasing and maintaining every couture look yourself.
Not a marketplace. Not mass-made.
These are original Bentley + Lace designs created with photography, movement, fit and visual impact in mind. The gowns return to us for care and preparation between rentals.
We are not a marketplace of anonymous inventory. These are original designs with a recognizable Bentley + Lace point of view.
Movement, volume, texture, color and silhouette are considered for how the gown translates into the finished image.
Each listing gives you the measurements of the specific rental piece rather than asking you to rely only on a size label.
The schedule gives you room for portraits, weather, fittings, travel and creative flexibility without a rushed one-day window.
Rentals return to Bentley + Lace for professional care, inspection and preparation between clients.
Four details worth checking first.
Measure first.
Compare current body measurements with the exact garment measurements listed on that gown's product page.
Book the gown.
Once your session or event date is confirmed, reserve early for the best selection — especially during holiday and fall portrait season.
Protect Day One.
Use arrival day for receiving and preparing the gown rather than scheduling the main session.
Return Day Seven.
Use the included prepaid FedEx label and return the complete rental on the scheduled return day.
The details, clearly.
The questions we want answered before you ever reach checkout.
Exactly how long do I get the gown?
The rental is structured across seven days: Day One is arrival and preparation, Days Two through Six are your five full usage days, and Day Seven is return day.
Should I schedule my session on arrival day?
We do not recommend it. Day One is intended for receiving, unpacking and preparing the gown before your main session or event.
How do I choose the correct rental size?
Compare current body measurements with the exact garment measurements shown on the individual gown listing. Also read the fit notes for adjustable straps, elastic, ties or corset details.
Do I need to clean the gown before returning it?
No. Please do not wash or professionally clean the rental before return. Bentley + Lace handles professional care after the gown comes home.
Is return shipping included?
Yes. A prepaid FedEx return label is included with the rental. Repack the complete rental and return it on Day Seven.
What if the gown arrives early?
Early carrier delivery does not automatically extend the confirmed rental period. Your official usage dates remain tied to the reservation.
Can I request additional rental time?
Additional time may be possible depending on the gown's reservation schedule. Contact Bentley + Lace before booking if you know you need an extended window.
What if I need help finding the right gown?
Use the Rental Fit Guide or contact Bentley + Lace with the session date, current measurements and the look you are trying to create so we can help narrow down available options.
