What renters say

4.6/5 from 190 reviews

I contacted Passion for Fashion the day before my event, and they were very responsive and catered to my last minute requests. And most importantly, the dress was gorgeous and new.
JessRenter
Super fast and easy. Great communication throughout. The dress was in perfect condition. I've hired lots of dresses before and found some in terrible condition, so I was very impressed.
NicoleRenter
Absolutely 10/10. The lender was super nice and easy to contact, and helped me with the try ons. The gown was beautiful and I received many compliments.

Delivery

(a) We recommend placing your Order for an item no less than 3 full Business Days prior to your desired delivery date. Prior to finalising your Order, you will be advised of the item’s estimated delivery date. By proceeding to finalise your Order, we will consider that you were aware of, and accepted, the estimated delivery date provided to you at that time (Estimated Delivery Date).

(b) Your selected item(s) will be sent in order to arrive to your nominated address on or before the Estimated Delivery Date.

(c) We will use any delivery or transport provider we consider appropriate as determined at our sole discretion.

(d) Instructions to leave an item without signature will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and, where applicable, will be subject to approval by Third party providers.

(e) We cannot guarantee that any courier or other delivery agent will comply with a request to leave an item without a signature, and we do not accept any liability or responsibility where an item is not left without signature.

(f) If an item arrives after the Estimated Delivery Date, and as a result, you return the item unworn, you may be entitled to a full refund.

(g) No refund or credit will be provided if the delivery is slightly late, but you choose to wear the item regardless.

(h) If your delivery fails because you have provided an incorrect or incomplete address, you will not be entitled to a refund or credit. It is your responsibility to ensure that the address you enter is accurate.

(i) Please see our refunds and returns policy for a detailed explanation of your rights to a refund for items not delivered.  If you have hired an item from one of our Third party providers, please refer to their terms and conditions.

Tracking my order

As soon as an item is dispatched from the warehouse or store of our rental partner, you will receive an email from us, which will include a tracking number for the postage company delivering your item (usually Australia Post).

What if a dress doesn't fit?

Please be aware that we do not offer returns or refunds for change of mind for an unsuitable size/fit. It is your responsibility to ensure you are booking the correct size and style.

Do I need to dry-clean my dress?

It is the Lender's responsibility to dry clean each item before sending it to the borrower.

How do I return my dress?

1. Return your item on the rental End Date. On the final day of the rental period, you must return your rental using the pre-paid return label provided.

👉 Secure the pre-paid label to the front of your parcel and post it at your local Australia Post Office.

👉 Late returns will incur a fee of AU$25 per day for apparel and AU$40 for bags/jewellery.

2. Share your tracking details. As soon as the item is posted, provide the Lender with the tracking details to ensure a successful return.

What if my rental ends on a Sunday or holiday?

Couriers and Australia Post do not generally operate on Sundays and public holidays, if your return date falls on one of these, please post your item back by 12pm the next business day.

(b) By hiring an item via our Website and accepting these Terms, you irrevocably authorise us to charge Late Fees owed to us or our Third party provider to your nominated payment method.

(c) If we are unable to charge your nominated payment method for any applicable Late Fees for any reasons, we will issue you with an invoice for the relevant Late Fees, which you agree to pay within 5 Business Days. Should you fail to pay your invoice by the due date, we reserve the right to refer you to debt collection.

What if I accidentally damage the dress?

We understand that accidents happen, including staining and damage of items form times to time. If this occurs during your hire, you must contact the lender immediately to arrange a resolution.

You will be charged for any specialist dry-cleaning or repairs necessary. If a dispute between the lender and the borrower arises, Passion For Fashion must be contacted immediately.

What if my dress is too long?

If a dress falls below your feet, it is your responsibility to make sure that the dress does not become damaged throughout the hire. Alterations are strictly prohibited, and excessive staining or damage will result in further charges.

(a) For cancellations of Orders, you will be entitled to a full refund if:
