"Rent a dress"
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.

IMAGE MAGAZINE - APRIL 2009 - Ireland

"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."

"Frock 'n' Roll"
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."
