The hoco look

Homecoming is usually shorter and more playful than prom:

  • Mini and short dresses: sequins, satin, corset tops and bodycon.
  • Bold colors and metallics that pop in photos, or your school colors.
  • Something you can dance in. Check the fabric and stretch with the owner before you book.

Hoco is close: here's the fast way

If your dance is in the next week or two:

  1. Search close to home first. A local handoff means no shipping time at all.
  2. Message the owner today with your measurements and your dance date.
  3. Pick a rental length that covers the dance plus a day of buffer. The owner sets one flat price for each length (2, 4, 5, 7, 14 or 30 days).
  4. Choose shipping only if there's time. It shows tracking, and there's a prepaid label in the box for the return.

What it costs

The median cocktail-dress rental on e.closet is $50 for the shortest length the owner offers. Delivery and a small service fee show at checkout. That's the price of one dress for one night, not a dress that sits in your closet afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Can high school students rent on e.closet?

Yes, if you're 16 or older. Under 18, you need a parent or guardian's consent and supervision to use e.closet, per its Terms of Service.

What if the dress doesn't fit?

Get measurements from the owner before booking, since fit issues aren't refundable when the listed size was accurate. An item that arrives materially different from its listing can be refunded under e.closet's Return & Refund Policy.

Can I rent one dress for hoco and another for prom?

That's the point. Rent a short dress for homecoming and a gown for prom, for less than buying either.

How do I pay?

Venmo, PayPal, card or Apple Pay.
