Everything you need to know about your gown’s delivery, usage days, and return.
HOW THE RENTAL PROCESS WORKS
A thoughtfully timed, seven-day rental experience designed to protect each couture gown while giving you five full usage days for your session or event.
This is not a fast-turn, volume-based rental model —
it is a quality-first experience.
Designed with intention. Managed with care. Unlike traditional gown rentals, our process is built to protect couture craftsmanship while supporting meaningful moments.
Our gowns are handcrafted couture pieces, not mass-produced garments. Each rental is treated as an heirloom-quality piece, requiring thoughtful timelines, careful handling, and professional inspection between clients.
Our seven-day rental period is intentionally designed to allow:
- Proper preparation before and after each rental
- Five true usage days without rushed returns
- Quality control that ensures every gown arrives photo-ready
Designed for Creatives, Not Just Transactions
Our rentals are part of a slow fashion philosophy — investing in fewer, better pieces that are cared for, reused responsibly, and shared intentionally within our community.
Our process is built around how gowns are actually used:
- Session planning
- Weather and lighting considerations
- Creative flexibility within a defined window
- This structure supports creativity while honoring craftsmanship

How Our Rentals Work
A simple, thoughtful rental process.
Step One
Arrival Day
Your gown arrives on Day One and is reserved for preparation only. We do not recommend scheduling a session. Early delivery does not extend usage days.
Step Two
Usage Days
Days Two through Six are your full rental usage days. You have five complete days to use your gown for sessions, events, or creative styling without feeling rushed.
Step Three
Return Day
Day Seven is return day. All items must be dropped at FedEx using the included prepaid label before the final pickup, which is typically around five PM.
