HIRING WITH MSW

HOW DOES DRESS HIRE WORK?

Experience our exquisite designer garments by visiting our boutique or exploring our extensive collection online.

Check the availability of your desired item(s) by using our calendar feature.

Choose between a 4 or 8-day rental period. To ensure a seamless delivery experience, we recommend starting your booking 2 business days prior to your event. For customers in regional areas, we suggest selecting an 8-day booking to account for possible longer postage times. To view Australia Post's estimated delivery times based on your location, please click here.

We offer convenient options for receiving your dress: express post delivery straight to your doorstep or the choice to pick up and drop off at our Sydney boutique.

At the end of your rental period, simply return the dress using our provided reusable satchel. Lodge the package behind the counter at your nearest Post Office by 12pm AEST on the rental return due date. In the event that the return date falls on a Sunday or public holiday, you may return the package the following day by 12pm AEST.

Rest assured, there's no need to worry about dry cleaning—we'll take care of it for you!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HIRE A DRESS?

CAN I TRY ON A DRESS BEFORE HIRING IT?
Absolutely! We encourage our customers to try on dresses before making a rental decision. You're welcome to visit our retail store in Sydney during our business hours to try on the dresses. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be there to assist you and provide guidance during the process. This is currently only available at our retail outlet in Sydney.
CAN I EXTEND A DRESS HIRE?
If you wish to extend the rental period, please contact us as soon as possible to check availability as the dress may be already booked for another customer. Extensions are subject to additional charges, and we can discuss the details and pricing options with you

Feel free to inquire with our staff about renting multiple dresses. Please NOTE: Shipping rates may vary depending on dress sizes, weight and more.
What sizes do you offer for dress rentals?
We strive to offer a wide range of sizes to accommodate different body types. Our dress sizes typically range from 4 to 20, but availability may vary for each dress. We recommend checking the size availability for each specific dress on our website or contacting our staff for assistance.

Feel free to inquire about accessory options when you visit our store or check out our accessories collection online.
What happens if the dress doesn't fit me properly?

We understand that fit can be a concern. While we make every effort to provide accurate sizing information and assist you in finding the right dress, if the dress doesn't fit properly, please contact us immediately at info@mswthelabel.com or on (02) 9790 5097.

If a dress has reached the end of its useful life and is no longer suitable for rental, we remove it from our inventory. Rest assured, we are continuously adding new styles to our collection to offer you fresh and exciting options for your next event.

HOW LONG BEFORE MY EVENT SHOULD I ORDER MY DRESS TO BE DELIVERED?
We advise selecting a delivery date at least 2 days prior to your event to minimize any last-minute concerns and ensure a seamless delivery experience. It's important to note that if you have a rental item scheduled for Monday delivery, we recommend making the booking at least 2 business days in advance, such as on Thursday, before 12pm AEST, to ensure a smooth delivery. Once you reserve your dress, we will promptly send you a confirmation email. Also, keep in mind that you have the flexibility to book your dress as early as 6 months in advance.
