Rent a Wedding Dress?

I know all about renting a tux and renting shoes. But anyone know of any places where you can rent the dress?
Why pay all that money to wear it once?
Just a thought.

Anyone know of any places or sites?
Anyone ever heard of anyone doing this?
Or am I just crazy?

You aren't crazy at all!
My cousin actually rented hers, for a fraction of the price!
The place she used went out of business about four years ago.. but I'll keep a lookout for ya!

My manicurist told me that many Asians rent their wedding dresses because they change dresses throughout the wedding. I'm wondering if Chinatown might not have a place that rents gowns.

I know there's a place in Manhattan that rents gowns, but I can't remember the name of the place for the life of me.

Try posting this on the NYC board on the knot.

You're more than welcome to rent my dress any time after April 16th! It's very simple two piece corset top a line skirt with no train. I may actually try to sell most of my stuff afterwards. Let me know if you're interested.

my hair stylist actually rented her dress... she had a GORGEOUS victorian style wedding.

I THINK I remember reading about renting gowns recently. Maybe in the new New York Weddings issue from New York Magazine? I don't have it at work or I would let you know for sure, but I think they listed places you can rent from. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

It's not a rental, but there's a place in the city the Bridal Garden that does designer dresses at a fraction of the price. And the proceeds go towards charity. Just something to think about! Good Luck with your search!

Manhattan, 212-677-9991. Let us know if you find anything!
