Sizing & Fit
All dress hire bookings require an in-store fitting appointment at our Doreen studio. We do not offer online-only hire — trying on your gown in person ensures the perfect fit for your special occasion.
Please refer to the size guide on each individual hire listing as a guide only. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort — however, fit will be confirmed at your in-store appointment.
Don't see your size? With enough notice, we may be able to order your size in the gown you love — subject to availability and production status. Allow at least 3–4 weeks for delivery. Some items may take up to 12 weeks. Contact us to enquire.
Book your in-store fitting appointment at our Doreen studio — it's complimentary and the first step to securing your gown.
