Hey there, ready to pick the perfect date for your rental? Don't forget to check out the calendar above! Just keep in mind - weekends are off the table, so you won't be able to rent on a Saturday or Sunday.

No need to panic though! If your event is happening over the weekend, just choose a rental start date on either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday to make sure everything is sorted in time.

And speaking of time, we've got you covered with a standard four day rental period. So if your event falls on the weekend, your rental will be collected or returned on the following Monday. If your event isn't on the weekend, just keep in mind that your rental needs to be collected by our courier or returned to our studio on the fourth day of the rental period.

Please don't forget to pop it back into its bag (with the hanger if it came with one).

Wanna keep the outfit a little longer? Shoot us an email at support@somethingborrowedza.com and we'll see what we can do about extending the rental period. Happy renting!

Want to try it on? Book a 45-minute try-on at our Bryanston try on space to see that dream dress in person or try a few and pick your fave. No walk-ins will be allowed.

It’s just R75 to secure your spot and if you fall in love and rent a dress, we’ll put that fee toward your booking. The fee is non-refundable if you cancel, reschedule, or ghost us (no hard feelings, promise), but we’re happy to shift your slot if we can.

Just a heads-up: we can’t hold items for try-ons, and fully paid rentals will always take priority.

Please note that we steam all garments before sending them off, but they may get a little creased during delivery. We recommend giving them a quick steam on the day of your event for that seamless look. If needs be, please use the lowest iron setting and iron items inside out. A steam Iron is best.
