How To Borrow Something

Ready to pick the perfect date for your rental? Don't forget to check out the calendar above!

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 or 8 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 or eight day of the rental period.

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

Borrow with TLC

Our pieces have brought joy to our community and might have some signs of previous affection, adding to their unique charm.

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.

To keep the SB sisterhood of travelling dresses going, please avoid making any alterations. Our items are meant to be cherished by others too. If any adjustments are made, without prior written consent, you may be held liable for the item's replacement or restoration value.

Thank you for helping look after our garments!
