Whether you’re attending the prestigious Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival or an equally glamourous gala in Melbourne, dressing your best will undoubtedly be a high priority, not to mention highly stressful. Minimise the fuss of trawling through catalogues or shopping malls with the Fashion Alta Moda party dress hire service to find the perfect outfit that will benefit your budget and maximise the most important part of your event - enjoying your occasion.

Dress for a Night in Sydney, Not for a Fortune

In a world driven by consumerism that results in mass production and wastage in nearly all sectors of the economy, less is proving to be more, especially when it comes to maintaining a budget that will support a busy social life. If you’re new to the service, here’s why this will be your best investment yet:

• “Time is money”, as the saying goes, and you will save plenty of valuable hours by choosing from a range of garments selected by our team of professional stylists that will suit your occasion and your physique. Having an extra window in your schedule may present the perfect opportunity to work on that business idea you’ve been toying with or even dedicate the day for some much-needed self-care.
• We know that nothing beats the thrill of wearing a new outfit for each special occasion and sharing it on your favourite online platforms, which is why opting to hire rather than buy will give you more variety for your social media posts and keep your followers enthralled.
• From race day headwear to Jacquemus dress hire, you will gain access to a wide range of exclusive premium branded garments for every dress code without having to compromise on quality. Through this, you will also be supporting environmental and economic sustainability by reducing the need to use precious raw materials to produce new limited designer collections for each season.

Designer Vintage Clothing for the Ages

We’ve all admired the timeless beauty of the Hollywood greats that sparkled on the silver screen and continue to influence many of today’s modern looks. Here’s why we would love to help you unleash your inner prima donna when you need a dress for a night in Melbourne or elsewhere:

• Dress up isn’t just for the little ones. Choosing an out-of-the-ordinary iconic look that personifies the grace and glamour of the classical era can offer a little escapism and excitement from the humdrum of your daily routine.
• A change truly is as good as a holiday, especially when it comes to one’s appearance. If you’re not keen to take the plunge with a new hair colour just yet, exploring different styles, patterns, and fabrics of clothing that you wouldn’t normally wear may be a better, less risky alternative to feel refreshed and revitalised.
• Standing out from the crowd takes confidence and feeling comfortable in your skin, with or without a show-stopping ensemble. Accentuate your unique inner beauty with the assistance of our stylists to bring out your best every time without feeling over-or underdressed.

Buying an outfit for a formal event is often an expensive exercise that leaves you with a wardrobe of garments you might wear once or twice a year at most. Formal dress hire eliminates the need to collect clothes that collect dust by giving you access to stylish outfits for any event. Fashion Alta Moda offers online formal dress hire in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This guide to formal dress hire aims to help you get the most out of your first rental experience with us.

Four Reasons Why Renting a Dress Is Better Than Buying One

While buying a brand-new outfit for a special occasion can be exciting, it gets tedious when you find yourself purchasing a dress every time you get invited to a party. Here are four reasons to rent a designer dress instead of buying one for the next event you attend.

• Renting saves you money. Formal dresses are usually expensive off the rack, with even higher price points for alterations or custom designs. You can often rent high-end designer clothing that typically costs thousands of dollars for under 20 percent of its retail price.
• Gain access to unlimited designer pieces. Clothing rental services make high fashion more accessible, allowing you to wear designer pieces without the commitment of purchasing them. We stock dresses from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Prada, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton.
• No storage space is required. Formal dresses are often bulky items that take up a lot of wardrobe space - making collecting them impossible if you have limited space in your home. Renting a dress eliminates the responsibility of storing it after you have worn it.
• Rentals are the eco-conscious choice. Fast fashionrefers to cheap, disposable clothing that you only buy to follow a trend. Renting clothes is a more sustainable choice that helps you wear stylish outfits all the time without creating waste or pollution associated with clothing production.

Tips for Hiring a Dress That Fits

You may be sceptical about sizing when renting a dress for the first time, especially if you need a perfect fit for a wedding or public event. We have a team of stylists in-house to answer all your questions around sizing before you hire a formal dress from our Melbourne, Brisbane, or Sydney stockists. Here are three tips to help you get the best fit:

• Hire more than one dress. While we do supply a detailed sizing guide, every human body is unique, and there is always a chance that the dress you hire will not feel perfectly fitted. If you are unsure of your size, hire two sizes to give yourself an alternative outfit option.
• Take accurate measurements. Get a friend to measure your bust, shoulders, waist, and hips with a soft measuring tape before you rent a garment online. Take note of the fabric your chosen dress is made of - some fabrics allow for more stretch than others.
• Try on a similar style in person. Try on a dress in the same style as your chosen rental dress to help visualise the fit and how the fabric will fall on your body. We also offer periodic, pop-up fitting opportunities for ourformal dress hire in Brisbane and other major cities across Australia.
