London, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle and Liverpool are the most popular destinations for UK dress hire this month at Girl Meets Dress so we’ve decided to take you through the best rentals for each. This blog will feature our most popular city London.

What’s going on in London?

Hitting the Town: Maggie’s

 Maggie’s is a 1980s themed boutique members late-night bar in the heart of Chelsea, named after Prime-Minister-turned-icon Maggie Thatcher who was in power throughout this ten year period.

Club-goers can hear her famous speeches playing in the loos, while Thatcher memorabilia vies for space on the walls along with other iconic 80s images and paraphernalia.

The resident Maggie’s DJ plays a fantastic range of classic 80s music from this vibrant decade as bartenders dressed in neon coloured t-shirts, sweat bands and 80s gear, serve up a range of drinks from Piña Coladas and Daiquiris to the unforgettable Babycham. The waitresses, meanwhile, are dressed in union jack and Rubik’s cube dresses and serve guests sat at giant Rubik’s cube and old school cassette tape tables.

For a truly great party dress to hire in London try the Avery Dress by Dresses by Lara or our Steel Cocktail Dress by Virgos Lounge  – remember, you can rent 3 at a time and get a refund on the ones you don’t wear! Don’t worry about any drink spillage on your night out either – we take care of all the dry cleaning!

Simple yet stand-out, radical yet refined, Restaurant Ours brings the outside in to create an unexpected space hidden in the heart of Knightsbridge.

Unpretentious, effortless and elegant with a nod to retro chic. A crafted modern European menu accompanied by seasonal cocktails. An iconic space in an iconic place.

Girl Meets Dress has partnered with Pacari Chocolate, so every time you hire a dress from us, you’ll get a sample of free chocolate bar. Who doesn’t love chocolate?

Pacari Chocolate is an Ecuadorian family-owned company, dedicated to making the highest quality organic dark chocolate in the world.

Santiago Peralta and Carla Barboto built a business based on socially and environmentally sustainable principles to ensure that the production of chocolate supports the well-being of the local community and the land. The word Pacari means “nature” in Quechua, an indigenous language of the Andean region.

Since 2002, Pacari Chocolate has worked with hundreds of local cacao growers and cooperatives to preserve the native Arriba Nacional cacao and create – the first single-origin organic chocolate made entirely in Ecuador – with the finest organic ingredients. They have since gone on to develop over 40 different chocolate bars and products and won more than 180 International Chocolate Awards since 2012.

These chocolates are made ethically and are socially responsible. On top of that they are vegan, gluten and dairy free, basically making them the perfect guilt free chocolate.

When you order a dress from us, you’ll receive one of their 11 flavours:

• 70% Raw organic chocolate
• 70% Finest cacao chocolate
• Guayusa
• Coffee
• Esmeraldas – 60% Cacao
• Lemon Verbena
• Lemongrass
• Passionfruit
• Cuzco Salt & Nibs
• Andean Mint
• Andean Rose

Buy their products from their website or here’s a list of their stockists, such as Whole Foods.
