Hire a party outfit and save a fortune
Christmas party season is kicking off earlier than ever this year. But, few of us like to wear the same outfit to function after function. With Girl Meets Dress (girlmeetsdress.com), you never have to wear the same items to a party again. Visit the website and chose from more than 200 designer brands and 4,000 designer dresses. You can choose up to two long, or three short, dresses to try on (the cost varies), then select the number of nights you would like them for — either two or seven. The dresses are delivered to your home. Once worn, send them back in the prepaid box. There’s optional insurance for £7 to cover accidental damage. Also, worth a look are similar sites hirethecatwalk.com and hirethatlook.com. Men needn’t miss out either, with Moss Bros (moss.co.uk) and Yardsmen (yardsmen.com) offering suit hire for all sorts of occasions.

Putting the brakes on fast fashion

Yesterday the United Nations Environment Programme published an article mentioning Girl Meets Dress and suggesting dress rental, hiring clothes as one way to reduce our textile consumption.

The fashion industry globally produces 20% of wastewater. Textile dyeing is the 2nd largest polluter of water. This ‘trend’ urgently needs to stop. Keep clothing in use for longer and consider renting clothes to reduce your contribution #SolveDifferent
“The fashion industry produces 20 per cent of global wastewater and 10 per cent of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of water globally and it takes around 2,000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans.”

“Some argue that recycling is itself energy intensive and does not address our throwaway culture—the number of times a garment is worn has declined by 36 per cent in 15 years. An alternative might be found in a viable rental market for clothes. Pioneers in this field include Dutch firm Mud Jeans, which leases organic jeans that can be kept, swapped or returned, Rent the Runway, Girl Meets Dress and YCloset in China.

“The rental model is clearly a winner for the higher end of the market where consumers may have no intention of wearing an occasion dress more than once… but at the lower end, it’s all too easy to go online and be able to buy outright any trend or item,” says Perry. “For rental to be a success at this market level, companies need to offer sufficient choice of brands and styles that would engage consumers and tempt them away from outright purchase, and the rental service needs to be smooth and faultless.”

The day has finally arrived and we have to say our fashion desire has been more than fulfilled. This Royal Wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank has been one full of taste and well-dressed guests.

Our main focus, of course, the guests’ dresses. The Royal Wedding guests went for different autumn wedding guest styles and colours, although different shades of pink dresses and blue knee-length dresses seem to be the most popular.

From left to right, Princess Beatrice in a deep royal blue dress by Ralph & Russo, The Duchess of Sussex in a dark blue Givenchy outfit and a feather-adorned hat by Noel Stewart., Ellie Goulding goes for a more fun print with this blue polka dots flowy dress and Poppy Delavigne’s baby blue lace dress by Oscar De La Renta and an oversize fascinator.
