Hire Formal Gowns in Perth for Less

The invitation is on the fridge, the date is circled and the fun part is about to begin. At Dress For a Night, we've gathered styles for balls and galas, black tie weddings and formals, and every one can be hired online and sent to you in Perth by Express Post. Browse our formal gowns in Perth, or book an at-home try-on to test a few favourites before you decide.

Our range brings together Australian and international designers, so you can wear a name you've admired for years. Hiring costs less than buying a gown that may only get one outing, and you never have to repeat an outfit.

Everything Included in Every Hire

Every hire comes with extras that make the night easier.

  • Dry cleaning included. Cleaning is built into the price, so you can send the gown back as it is after the party.
  • Stain and damage cover. Minor spills and small mishaps are covered in every rental.
  • Free size exchange. Swap to another size at no charge, pending availability.
  • Backup dress option. Add a second size or style so you have a plan B ready to go.

Check our FAQs for the finer details on each one.

Wear Your Dream Gown, Skip the Waste

Each ball, gala and wedding on your calendar is a new chance to wear something different. Renting keeps a gown in use across many nights, which cuts down the fashion waste that builds up when a dress is bought for one event and then forgotten.

You can choose another designer piece for every invitation, so nobody spots you in the same outfit twice. Browse our wedding guest dresses for the next ceremony on your list, or our wider Perth dress hire range for everything else. You get a fresh look at every event, and your wardrobe stays clear of gowns you'll never wear again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver formal gowns to Perth?

Our only store is in North Sydney, so you hire formal gowns in Perth online and we send your dress by Express Post. Shipping is free on orders over $200, and Express Post to WA is $29.99 for orders under $200. Return postage is included, and our how it works and delivery page has the full details.

How long does delivery to Perth take?

Allow 1 to 2 extra days for Express Post to reach Perth, because next business day delivery only covers major centres in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and TAS. If you live in WA outside the Perth CBD, we recommend an 8-day booking so your dress has extra time to travel.

Can I try on a gown at home before my event?

Absolutely, you can pick up to 3 dresses and we'll post them to you to try on at home. It costs $49.99 for 1 dress, $59.99 for 2 or $69.99 for 3 including postage, and WA addresses pay an extra $20 shipping. Book through our at-home try-on page for dispatch at least 2 weeks before your event.

What sizes do your formal gowns come in?

Our gowns go up to size 18, and the sizes available vary by designer and style. For help with fit or choosing between two sizes, chat with our team via live chat on the website.

How do I return my gown after the event?

Pop the dress in the satchel provided, attach the prepaid return label and drop it at any Express Post box or Post Office in Perth. You don't need to clean it first, because dry cleaning is included in your hire. Our returns policy covers the finer details.

What payment options can I use?

You can pay with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay or UnionPay. We don't offer Afterpay, so choose whichever of these suits you when you check out.

HOUSE OF CB Persephone

This dress was so beautiful! Created such an hourglass figure, when I do not have one naturally. So so flattering. The hire process was so simple and easy. Will definitely be hiring from here in the future!

ALBINA DYLA Leaf Gown

The dresses arrived beautifully wrapped and fresh. The customer service was amazing. Easy to return. The backup dress option is fantastic since the first option was a little loose on the waist and this dress fit like a glove.

ALBINA DYLA Classica

The overall experience renting a dress (and backup dress) was so smooth. The dresses came dry cleaned, steamed and perfect. Would 100% rent again.
