Do you have a work function to go to where you need to make an impression? Perhaps you’ve been invited to attend a charity event or gala ball? Our dress for a night hire gives you access to international runway collections so that you can arrive at any occasion looking the part and exuding confidence. Besides formal daywear, we also provide wedding guest attire and cocktail dress hire in Sydney.

We commit to giving customers a fuss-free service where the focus is on appreciating the art and fun of experiencing the world of high-end fashion.

Luxury dress hire, for the Individual With Refined Taste

Besides giving clients an extensive choice of elegant pieces, we aim to contribute to sustainability efforts by extending the lifespan of our garments. These are the earth-friendly fashion items you can look forward to when choosing our services.

• Cocktail dress hire. Sparkle and shimmer in the Attico sequinned V-neck jumpsuit or the Johanna Ortiz bow embellished, embroidered, velvet midi dress. Perhaps it’s more classic or avant-garde elegance you’re after? See the Miu crystal-embellished cady dress or the Gucci classic shift dress with sequined bow and collar detailing in our collection. For statement shoulders, consider the Stella McCartney one-shoulder Duchesse-satin and cady mini dress or the Leal Daccarett opera one-shoulder dress.
• Wedding. Whether you’re looking for bridesmaid dresses or mother of the bride dress hire, our wedding guest range includes the bouquet-inspired Red Valentino floral embroidered tulle dress or the Erdem Constantine cape effect tiered floral print silk voile dress. For a more festive look, you have the option of a Geon J top and skirt or Rixo London’s Laura Jackson daisy, velvet-trimmed, sequined, crepe midi dress.
• Party. Frolic in frills in the Solace London Frances strapless, ruffle-trimmed faille jumpsuit, or MSGM’s one-shoulder ruffled crepe mini dress. If, instead, you want to float into the party scene, try the Maria Lucia Hohan white Godiva pleated silk-blend gown or Alexander McQueen white strapless silk organza gown.
• Formal day wear. The Valentino pink, pleated wool, and silk-blend ‘grain de poudre’ mini dress and cape knee-length shift dress offers clean lines yet with a feminine feel. The Dolce & Gabbana floral-print cotton-poplin midi dress or Erdem floral print mini dress also boast defined structures.
• Evening and Black tie. For a dramatic silhouette and bold colour, consider the Carolina Herrera ‘cache-coeur’ taffeta shirt dress or lace dress with puffed sleeves. The Johanna Ortiz bow-accented ruffled gown is the epitome of elegance in rich colour.

Show Off Your Splendour With Our Designer Dresses Hire

We offer exclusive brands paired with superior service. You can find your best fit by watching our online video, which gives a step-by-step guide to getting accurate measurements.

However, if the garment doesn’t fit, we could courier a new one promptly if you’re in Sydney, and if possible, we will overnight courier it to you in time for your event. These are some of the other ways we offer value to our clients:

• Wide selection. Clients can choose from spring, summer or autumn/winter collections and pair their pieces with designer earrings and bags to match.
• Easy process. Clients can effortlessly select a garment and accessory for their next event online. If you can’t decide on the ideal dress for the occasion, our skilled and experienced stylists can help. Next, you hire your garment by booking a date for delivery, and once you’ve dazzled in it, you return it in the same packaging that you received it in and use the pre-paid label to post it back to us.
• Professional. We offer an attentive styling service where clients can access our styling suite for a one-on-one consultation. Our one-hour packages include the ‘basic’ option where customers can choose from the ‘Classic’ collection. Accessories are included in the ‘classic’ option, and the ‘elevated’ package lets you choose from the luxe ‘elevated’ compilation.
  We also offer personal shopping services at a fixed finding fee where we handpick and curate a look not accessible at F.A.M, where we buy the first rental specially for you.
  We also accommodate our customers by tailor-making a garment for a perfect fit where we can do alterations such as shortening hems.
• High-end garments. We offer hard-to-find international labels, so if you want to turn heads at the races, choose from our exclusive cocktail dress hire range in Melbourne.
• Affordable experience. We cater to different sized budgets where prices vary depending on the brand, item, and season.

Why Fashion Alta Moda

We’re a family-owned business that seriously values style and the experience of looking and feeling your best while protecting the planet.

So, contact us to get to wear one of our coveted pieces.

However, while the allure of owning a new gown for every cocktail party, fundraiser, and evening wedding is powerful, high garment prices are prohibitive for most. Still, there is a way to impress with a different and glamorous designer gown each time. Instead of buying expensive outfits suitable for one or two wears at most, consider evening dress hire at a more affordable ten to twenty percent of the retail price.

Discover the Ease, Affordability and Joy of Designer Fashion for Hire

Now, you can wear what you love, for less, and guilt-free. It’s convenient too; we courier your chosen gown to you, and you courier it back. Just place the dress or accessories in the same packaging it arrived in and attach the pre-paid label. We can also provide:

• A personal shopping service: Fashion is our passion. If you can’t find the perfect gown and accessories in our exquisite existing collection, we would love to help you by handpicking a unique and individualised look. We charge a finding fee, and you enjoy the first rental of the evening dress, specially curated for you. We then add the garment to our range for hire as usual. If you end up loving your outfit, we also offer buying options.
• VIP access: We offer clients on our newsletter mailing list and our VIP ‘Vault’ members exclusive early access to collection arrivals, invitations to prestigious showcase and styling events, and advice from our chief curators and image consultants, so sign up now.
• Private group showings and ‘pop up’ styling sessions: If you’re organising an event, hosting a party, or arranging a hen night, why not consider booking a private collection viewing or requesting a ‘pop up’ group styling consultation? Enjoy limited-access advantages with friends and colleagues and look stunning for your celebration.

For your peace of mind, we take care of the cleaning professionally and ask you to please respect and protect your designer gown while it’s in your care.

Buying an outfit for a formal event is often an expensive exercise that leaves you with a wardrobe of garments you might wear once or twice a year at most. Formal dress hire eliminates the need to collect clothes that collect dust by giving you access to stylish outfits for any event. Fashion Alta Moda offers online formal dress hire in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This guide to formal dress hire aims to help you get the most out of your first rental experience with us.

Four Reasons Why Renting a Dress Is Better Than Buying One

While buying a brand-new outfit for a special occasion can be exciting, it gets tedious when you find yourself purchasing a dress every time you get invited to a party. Here are four reasons to rent a designer dress instead of buying one for the next event you attend.

• Renting saves you money. Formal dresses are usually expensive off the rack, with even higher price points for alterations or custom designs. You can often rent high-end designer clothing that typically costs thousands of dollars for under 20 percent of its retail price.
• Gain access to unlimited designer pieces. Clothing rental services make high fashion more accessible, allowing you to wear designer pieces without the commitment of purchasing them. We stock dresses from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Prada, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton.
• No storage space is required. Formal dresses are often bulky items that take up a lot of wardrobe space - making collecting them impossible if you have limited space in your home. Renting a dress eliminates the responsibility of storing it after you have worn it.
• Rentals are the eco-conscious choice. Fast fashionrefers to cheap, disposable clothing that you only buy to follow a trend. Renting clothes is a more sustainable choice that helps you wear stylish outfits all the time without creating waste or pollution associated with clothing production.

Tips for Hiring a Dress That Fits

You may be sceptical about sizing when renting a dress for the first time, especially if you need a perfect fit for a wedding or public event. We have a team of stylists in-house to answer all your questions around sizing before you hire a formal dress from our Melbourne, Brisbane, or Sydney stockists. Here are three tips to help you get the best fit:

• Hire more than one dress. While we do supply a detailed sizing guide, every human body is unique, and there is always a chance that the dress you hire will not feel perfectly fitted. If you are unsure of your size, hire two sizes to give yourself an alternative outfit option.
• Take accurate measurements. Get a friend to measure your bust, shoulders, waist, and hips with a soft measuring tape before you rent a garment online. Take note of the fabric your chosen dress is made of - some fabrics allow for more stretch than others.
• Try on a similar style in person. Try on a dress in the same style as your chosen rental dress to help visualise the fit and how the fabric will fall on your body. We also offer periodic, pop-up fitting opportunities for ourformal dress hire in Brisbane and other major cities across Australia.
