Manchester, London, Leeds, Dublin and Liverpool are the most popular destinations for dress hire this month at Girl Meets Dress so we’ve decided to take you through the best rentals for each. We start with our most popular city, Leeds.

What’s going on in Leeds?

Hitting the Town: Pryzm

A longtime mainstay of nights out in Leeds, Pryzm is the current name for the club on the corner of Merrion Street and Woodhouse Lane – and the new lease of life the venue has been given has made it one of the most popular clubs in Leeds once again.

Bang in the centre of the city, it’s the perfect culmination of a night on the town – and it’s fair to say there’s something from everyone, with five different rooms, each boasting a different style of music. From house and R&B to disco and even acoustic, it’s all covered. And with their £1 £2 and £3 drinks offers on the go, it’s easy to see why Pryzm is so popular.

When it’s a night out with the girls you need to look the part with our fabulous party dresses to rent in Leeds. Our Glamorous Gold Sequin Dress is ideal for turning heads whilst our Pearl Black Collared Lace Dress will flatter any figure. Don’t worry about any drink spillage on your night out either – we take care of all the dry cleaning!

Dining Out: Vice & Virtue

It’s so close to Merrion Street you can almost touch it, and yet, Vice & Virtue is surprisingly easy to miss. But that would be a mistake, because this mysterious restaurant comes from Luke Downing, the man behind Dough Bistro, and he has something very special lined up for the people of Leeds – a creative tasting menu like nothing you’ve tried before. This is fine dining at its best, and it deserves to be tried.

For such a quaint restaurant you’ll be needing to look exceptionally special – whether you’re renting an evening dress in Leeds for a first date or dinner with the girls, Girl Meets Dress have got your Leeds dresses covered. Add a splash of colour to your night with our Carven Red Dress or look sleek in our Glamorous Jumpsuit. We’ve got lots of great cocktail dresses in Leeds all available with next day delivery anywhere in Leeds !

Performances to Remember: Leeds Grand Theatre

Built in 1878, Leeds Grand Theatre certainly lives up to its name, mixing stunning architecture with an equally impressive line-up. Over the years, we’ve seen many a West End hit visit, with Wicked and Shrek among the latest shows to come to Leeds.

But it’s not just musicals – Leeds Grand Theatre has earned a reputation for its eclectic but always top quality programme of events, which combines ballet, opera and comedy with the best touring productions the UK has to offer. This, combined with the fact that it’s one of the city’s most cherished landmarks, makes it one of the best theatres in Leeds, without a doubt.

We have so many evening dresses for hire in Leeds so you’re spoilt for choice – from our Green Cocktail Dress by Virgos Lounge to our Gorgeous Couture Jumpsuit.

Satin Cocktail Dress

Be Our Guest – Wedding guest dressing can be a nightmare, I love this Fantasia dress by Self-Portrait with delicate all over detailing, perfect for a summer wedding in the country.

Fantasia Dress

Xandy Dress

As the new year is in full swing, parties are being planned and you need fab cocktail dresses to hire for the all year round party season. Blogger, Allie Redmond, from The Friday Girl, shares her top 5 cocktail dresses from Girl Meets Dress. –  Allie  is a fashion marketing student who loves to blog in her spare time. She is currently interning with The Image Consulting Company.

1. Diane Von Furstenberg, Zarita Lace Dress, Blue

The colour of this cocktail dress was what most attracted me to it, it’s gorgeous and would look fab with a tan. Then on closer inspection, the lace is beautiful and creates a luxurious feel and I really like the zip detailing and the deep V on the back. Understated sexiness.

2.  McQ Alexander McQueen Fine Knit Dress

I am in love with this print, the red and the black are just so striking! The shape is also one of my favourites, a good t-shirt shaped dress, whether fitted or boxy, will always be a winner in my book, they’re so flattering. The perfect cocktail party dress.

3. Stella McCartney Pleated Stretch Dress 

Again I was attracted to this dress by the colour, as you can probably tell, I love a strong colour. The amazing thing about this cocktail dress is that I think it would suit any hair colour,  from brunette to golden blonde to the fieriest redhead. The fit also looks so classic and flattering and could be dressed up for a cocktail party or kept simple for a smarter work look.

4. CNC Malena Dress 

When I’m not in a bright colour, I’ll be in black, grey, navy or neutrals. They’re just so versatile and this is the perfect cocktail dress to show that going for neutrals doesn’t have to mean “boring” for a night out. I love the stylish colour blocking and the shape of this dress.

5. Cheap Monday Vee Dress

Again, this dress is a gorgeous neutral black cocktail dress but is oh so sexy with the deep V. It reminds me of something that Rihanna would wear with some barely there sandals and a statement gold necklace. Brilliant for channelling your inner diva whilst sticking to the cocktail dress code.

The Elise Ryan, Off Shoulder Lace Black Dress is simply stunning. A sophisticated parallel to Julia Roberts number in Pretty Woman, the neckline oozes class and elegance. It’s the perfect little black dress with a sexy twist; cut out at the back, wear with confidence and those heads will start turning!

I love this Gorgeous Couture Amelia Dress and it’s something you would definitely find in my own wardrobe. Oozing with simplicity and an injection of colour, the draped style flatters any figure and is also incredibly slimming.  The sleeves provide a little extra coverage but this doesn’t hinder its sexiness- don’t be afraid to show off those curves girls!

Every girl has to have a floor length number in their wardrobe and this DARK PINK Fringe Maxi Dress is perfect. Elongating and slimming, I love how the lace doesn’t leave it all the imagination. It’s a classy way of showing off your assets and wearing with your favourite black heels and some nude accessories will make it your most show stopping number yet!

This Cavern, Two Tone Drape Dress has to be my favourite because it’s so different and quirky. It’s vibrant, preppy and adds a modern twist to the classic cocktail dress. I love making bold statements when I’m feeling brave and this dress is perfect; wear with some simple accessories so you don’t overpower the boldness of the dress and show off those killer curves whilst brightening up any room!

This TFNC Celia Dress is the definition of understated class and is so easy to wear. The shape is simple but the sequined sleeve detail makes the dress pop. The flowing material creates a relaxed feel and is perfect for on-the-go sexiness; simply slip it on with your favourite glitzy accessories and a natural curl in your hair and you’re ready to dance the night away!
