Formal Dresses for Hire

Make a Statement with Designer Formal Dresses

Step out in something special for the next formal event on your social calendar.

Whether you’re all about a silk slip midi or a form-fitting silhouette, this formal dress collection has something to suit every style preference. 

Cool-season formal occasions call for full-length designs in earthy and jewel tones — think black, navy, burgundy, rust and emerald. Sequins, satin, and rich velvet take reign during autumn and winter, delivering a luxurious and elevated finish.

As the weather warms, look to lightweight linen, cotton, and silk dresses in maxi silhouettes. Bold hues such as fuschia, sky blue, green, and mango orange make their mark, while statement details like puff sleeves and bows add a playful touch. 

If you lean towards minimalist styling, look to sleek, understated silhouettes. Slip dresses and one-shoulder designs work well. 

Alternatively, if you’re looking to go all-out, play with different textures and shapes. Pleats, tule and ruffle hems will do the trick. 

Discover dresses from the designers you love in sizes 4 to 22. 

Why Rent a Formal Dress?

At Dress for a Night, we believe that everyone deserves to feel spectacular at special events. 

That’s why we’ve created a system that allows you to have your fairytale moment in the dress of your dreams. 

Designer dresses are coveted for a reason; they boast superior quality, exquisite design features and trend-setting silhouettes. However, they also carry a hefty price tag.

Our formal dress hire system allows you to wear designer dresses for just a fraction of the retail price.

In fact, at Dress for a Night, you can rent three to four formal dresses for the price of buying one. This means you can try a different dress for each event on your calendar without breaking the bank. Plus, you’ll avoid the guilt of sending your beautiful designer dresses to "wardrobe purgatory" after just one wear.

Hiring a formal dress is also a more eco-friendly choice. When you choose to hire a formal dress, you’re contributing to the circular fashion economy. You’re helping to keep dresses out of landfills, and you’re reducing demand on the fashion industry. That’s something to be proud of!
