Sydney Dress Hire

Looking for dress hire in Sydney for a wedding, race day, formal, gala or special event? Hire The Piece offers designer dress rental with gowns typically hiring from $280 to $600, including pieces that retail for close to $3,000.

Every dress is professionally cleaned and personally quality-checked before it leaves the studio. Your hire also includes express delivery, a prepaid return satchel and, where available, a backup size if you're between fits.

Worried about getting the right fit? We offer in-store try-on and postal try-on options, giving you the opportunity to check the fit and style before your event.

For a Saturday event, we recommend having your dress arrive on Thursday. This gives you a settling day to try it on and arrange a size change if needed.

Browse our designer dresses, find your preferred style and check availability for your event date.

Designer dress rental gives you the opportunity to wear a premium gown without paying the full retail price. A dress worth close to $3,000 might hire for around $600, making designer fashion considerably more accessible for a one-off event.

Choosing the Right Designer Dress Size

Don't rely solely on your usual clothing size when hiring a designer dress. Different designers and fabrics can fit very differently.

In particular, silk and fitted styles can sit closer to the body than they appear in photographs. Use your measurements and the individual dress sizing information when choosing your size.

If you're between sizes, ask about a backup size where available.

Try Before Your Event

In-Store Try On

If you're in Sydney and want to see how a dress looks and feels before committing to your hire, our in-store try-on option lets you try selected dresses in person.

It's a great option if you're unsure about your size, comparing different styles or want the confidence of seeing the dress on before your event.

Postal Try On

Can't make it to the studio? Our postal try-on option lets you try selected dresses at home before your event.

This can be particularly useful when you're travelling to Sydney, live outside the immediate area or simply prefer to try your outfit in your own space.

Try-on availability depends on the dress, size and booking dates. Check the relevant dress details or contact us before booking.

Wedding Guest Dress Hire Sydney

Looking for a wedding guest dress in Sydney? Choose from designer styles suitable for everything from relaxed outdoor ceremonies to formal evening receptions.

Sydney weddings can take place in a wide range of settings, from waterfront venues around Watsons Bay and the Northern Beaches to garden weddings and formal city celebrations.

Consider the venue when choosing your dress.

For warm-weather and outdoor weddings, lightweight fabrics such as silk, chiffon and flowing crepe can be comfortable and easy to move in. For garden or lawn ceremonies, a block heel can also be more practical than a narrow heel.

Race Day Dress Hire Sydney

Heading to Royal Randwick, Rosehill Gardens or another Sydney racing event? Find a designer dress suitable for race day, from elegant midi styles to statement gowns.

Our race day dress collection includes styles suitable for major racing events such as The Everest, Golden Slipper Day and the spring and autumn racing carnivals.

When choosing your race day outfit, consider the venue, enclosure and dress requirements. A polished midi or maxi dress can be a versatile option for a day at the races while still giving you plenty of room to accessorise.
