Dress for the invitation

  • Black tie: a floor-length gown.
  • Formal or black tie optional: a long dress or an elevated midi.
  • Cocktail: knee- to midi-length dresses. This is where most wedding guest rentals are.
  • Garden, beach or daytime: lighter fabrics, florals and pastels.
  • Rehearsal dinner and showers: check the brunch and date night occasions too.

And the one rule: avoid anything that could read as white or ivory in photos.

Wedding season planning

Peak wedding season runs from spring through fall, and the best pieces get booked around the big weekends. Some tips:

  • Book as soon as you RSVP, so you have the most choice and time to message owners about fit.
  • Cover travel days. For a destination wedding, pick a longer rental (7 or 14 days are flat prices) so the dress covers travel there and back.
  • Several weddings close together? One longer rental can cover two weekends, or you can rent a different dress for each.

How it works

Browse wedding pieces, message the owner about fit, choose your rental length (the owner sets one flat price each for 2, 4, 5, 7, 14 or 30 days), and pick local handoff, shipping or a same-city courier. Pay with Venmo, PayPal, card or Apple Pay, and send it back when you're done. Shipped rentals include a prepaid return label. Read the full walkthrough in how renting on e.closet works.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent a wedding guest dress?

Wedding pieces on e.closet have a median rental price of $50 for the shortest length the owner offers. Delivery costs and a small service fee show at checkout.

Can I rent a bridesmaid dress?

If the bride hasn't picked a specific dress, yes. Search by color and length to match the wedding party. For an exact style, message owners about what they have.

What if it doesn't fit?

Confirm measurements with the owner before booking. Fit issues aren't refundable when the listed size was accurate, but an item that arrives materially different from its listing is.

What if I spill something at the reception?

Normal wear is expected. Damage beyond that is charged under e.closet's Rental Protection Policy, so let the owner know right away.
