The current economy aside, there are certain luxuries such as Designer Dresses that are simply too exquisite to be constrained by budget or wardrobe space. When it comes to dressing up for something, be it with a Cocktail dress, or more formal clothes like ball gowns, brands such as Ruth Tarvydas, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Miu Miu and Temperley London have the potential to make it a really memorable night and have you looking and feeling amazing.

"One of the hottest internet retailers" - The Guardian

With Girl Meets Dress you are set to discover new designs, new designers, new colours and most of all, new ways of looking perfect. Having hired a Designer dress, a Ball Gown, a Prom dress, or maybe a formal dress for a work function or the Races, you can look appropriately perfect wearing just what you want on demand.

It's the ideal situation - you fall in love with a beautiful catwalk look, you borrow it for an occasion, revel in people's glances of how perfect you look, then return it with a sadness which quickly turns to anticipation as you browse for your next dress.

"A new way to look and feel your best at every occasion"

We all have those expensive formal dress pieces at the back of the wardrobe, begrudgingly bought but then not worn more than a couple of times. Girl Meets Dress, reconciles such fashion conundrums perfectly. Our selection keeps growing every week with the latest celebrity dresses, the perfect current season designer dresses as well as brand new prom ball dress styles

We all know the biggest fashion stars borrow items for events and then give them back. Now this same service is available to everyone. All women now have the luxury to borrow something REALLY special again, again and again... for less.

How many times do you wear the same dress anyway right?
