  • How it Works
    • What is GMD?

      What is GMD?


      Girl Meets Dress is the leading luxury rental destination, for all of life's special occasions.

      Wouldn't it be amazing if you could wear a different designer dress for every special event in your calendar? We will lend you your favourite designer dresses and accessories at up to 95% off their original retail price.
      We can lend you over 4,000 designer pieces from over 150 designer brands including Herve Leger, Halston Heritage, 3.1 Phillip Lim and more. We will deliver the dress to you, at your home, at your office, wherever you want and all you have to do is have fun in it and send it back to us when you're done.

      It's like we're your new best friend with the massive designer wardrobe who is cool enough to let you borrow whatever you want!

    • How it works

      How it works


      Shopping at GMD is easy and in 4 easy steps you can wear the dresses you dream of.
      Everything is very similar to any other online shop, and at the checkout, you can review and amend your order details and add some optional extras. Once you order, we will email you to confirm everything!

      BROWSE Find the dress of your dreams by browsing your event type, dress size or favourite colour.

      ORDER When you see a dress you love, select your size, number of nights and event date. Click 'ADD TO BAG' Then you can then continue shopping or go to the shopping bag in the top right hand corner to complete your order.

      PARTY Enjoy wearing your dress and bask in the compliments and admiring glances you will get!

      RETURN Pop your dress back in the box, attach the pre paid label and drop it into your local Post office. Easy!


    • Placing an Order

      Placing an Order

      Does GMD have a shop to visit?
      No, we are purely an online rental boutique and we don't have a physical location where you can come and try on dresses. All products are delivered to you.

      When do I place my order?
      There is no specific time in which you have to place your order before your event. If could be 3 months before, or 3 days. Of course, the sooner you order the higher the chance that your favourite dresses will be available for your event date, but don't worry if you do it last miniute, we send all dresses using a Next Day delivery service.

      How long can I borrow a dress for?
      On the website you select the option to borrow each dress for either 2 nights or 7 nights. But if you want to hang onto it for longer because you need time to accessorize, or perhaps you are going on holiday, that is no problem! Just email us at enquiries@girlmeetsdress.com and we can either renew it for you, or give you a quote for a longer rental period.


    • Trying dresses on

      Trying dresses on

      Can I try on the dresses?
      Yes. There are 2 options:
      Option 1: (Standard for all orders) When the dresses are delivered for your event you will try them on.
      Option 2: If your event is more than 30 days away from the date you order you can opt to use our ADVANCE TRY ON service. You will receive the dresses asap and choose one to have re-delivered for the event. This service is £30 per order (non refundable) and you can tick this option at the checkout.

      How many dresses can I try on?
      There is a limit of 3 dresses per order. With some of the large dresses with lots of material this could be limited to 1 or 2. We will deliver them to you and after you try them on you will tell us which one you have decided to wear for your event. You will then keep all of the dresses until after the event and return them in the same box. Once we receive them back we will refund you for the dresses which you did not wear.


    • Delivery

      Delivery

      When will my dresses be delivered?
      When you select your event date, you can view your delivery and return date. We always send an email the day that the dresses are dispatched, so you know that your dress is on its way. Your dress will never just turn up un-announced!

      Where does GMD deliver to?
      We currently deliver to the United Kingdon, Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight.

      Can my delivery address be different to my billing address?
      Yes. At the checkout stage you can choose both the individual delivery and biling address.

      How much does delivery cost?
      Standard delivery within the United Kingdom is £9.95. This is for delivery and return all included.
      Same Day delivery within central London is £20.

    • Need Style Advise?

      Our Style Advisors are here to help

      Can I ask for style advice or ask questions about specific dresses before I order?
      Yes, you can contact our style advisors any time if you have any questions about sizing, trends, colours etc: enquiries@girlmeetsdress.com / +44 (0) 207 746 2496

      Not to worry! Our fashion-savvy customer service team will ensure you find a perfect dress that will fit like a glove and will make you look Cannes-Film-Festival-worthy as they know how all our dresses feel, fit, and have suggestions on how to accessorize.
      Our stylists understand our fears, our concerns, our insecurities and what we want to look like. And just when you thought GMD could not get any better, there is no fee you for their expertise; it is all part of our service because here at GMD our mission is to help you look your best so you dont have to worry about anything else but having an unforgettably great experience at your upcoming event.

Hankering for designers you can't afford? Can't bare the guilt of another little black dress? Click on to the brand-new site girlmeetsdress.com, where you can rent a variety of new-season styles by the likes of Marc by Marc Jacobs (top, left), Tibi and 3.1 Phillip Lim. I have my eye on a geometric-print Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, worth £337, that's available to rent for 2 nights for £78. If I end up liking it too much, it comes with the tempting option to keep and buy.

The Times T2 -MAY 2009

"Girl Meets Dress"
Let's do the maths here. Hiring a current season, designer dress at £120 for two nights might not seem like the bargain of the century, but this is a chance to wear very expensive clothes that, had you bought them, you might only air once anyway.

BORROW the 3.1 Phillip Lim, Blaze red tiered dress >>

Chances are, you'd get a little bored and it might only manage a few outings at most, which is where Girl Meets Dress is genius.
While it offers a discerning selection of high-end designers (such as McQueen, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs), there's also plenty to choose from mid-range labels, meaning that a dress can be hired from as little as £24.

BORROW the Diane Von Furstenberg, Belted lupe summer dress >>

Not only will you be guaranteed the wow factor and not have to worry about dry cleaning bills, but all that money wasted on those makeshift/not-quite-right dresses will become a thing of the past.

"Here's a clever little concept"
www.girlmeetsdress.com is a dress lending site that allows you to borrow a fancy frock for 3 days, a week, or a month. It's a time-share fashion. The super-cute selection is updated weekly with rental prices varying, depending on the cost of the gown. We're loving this cost-effective way to look a million dollars at that spring wedding plus they even take care of the dry cleaning. Easy-peasy."

Girl Meets Dress Designer Dress Rental Service Launches
Boy asks girl out. Girl has nothing to wear, so nifty rodent pals help conjure something up. If your mice don't sing and sew, however, you need Girl Meets Dress.
The recession-friendly service allows you to rent a new season's frock from £31 a day.
Same-day London deliveries will soon be on offer; in the meantime allow up to three days by post to anywhere in the UK. Hire casual and evening styles in a variety of sizes by the likes of Fendi, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tibi and 3.1 Philip Lim; some are also for sale.
The selection is updated weekly, but if you're looking for something in particular, drop them an e-mail and they'll try to track it down. Prepare for an elegant send-off. These mice are seriously on the ball."
