How it works
Try on
Choose up to three wedding and bridesmaid dresses, in any mix, and we'll post them to you to try on in your own time. It's £75, and if you book a hire within 30 days, we'll send you a code to take the £75 off. There's also a £150 deposit, refunded once the dresses are back.
Make it yours
Buy your dress to keep, and many can also be hired, from four days. Everything arrives by tracked delivery, and hire returns are easy with our prepaid returns.
We're here all the way
From trying your favourites to the morning of the wedding, we're here to help. Message us any time, or book a styling session with Amelia Taylor.
Thank your bridesmaids
Jewellery from Orelia London they'll keep wearing long after the wedding: pearl huggies, layered gold necklaces and pieces you can engrave, from £20 to £35. Add them to your bag alongside the dresses.
Bridesmaid gifts
Jewellery from Orelia London that your bridesmaids will keep wearing, from £20 to £35.
Try it on first
You can't judge fit, weight or movement from a photograph. So choose up to three wedding and bridesmaid dresses, in any mix, and try them on at your own pace, over four days. It's £75, and if you book a hire within 30 days, we'll send you a code to take the £75 off. There's also a £150 deposit, refunded once the dresses are back.
Styled by Amelia Taylor
A one-to-one session with stylist Amelia Taylor, who picks out looks to suit you and your day, from our collection and beyond. If you order with us afterwards, £50 comes off your order.

Bridal, more thoughtfully
We buy from independent designers in considered quantities. Trying on first means you're more likely to get the right dress first time, which means fewer returns and less waste. Prefer to hire? Many dresses can be hired from four days, with dry-cleaning and returns included.
Real brides
The sisterhood of the dress
Why one bride chose a pre-loved Vivienne Westwood icon, complete with that Galaxy cape.
Renting my wedding dress from Something Borrowed was one of the best wedding decisions I made. The dress was stunning and I got so many compliments all day. The service and communication were incredible.
Such a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and it felt so good not to be paying thousands for a dress I'd only wear once.
A fantastic experience with four bridesmaid dresses. The home try-on was easy, the customer service was great and everything was so straightforward.
Your questions, answered
What if I'm not sure a dress will fit?
That's what try-on is for. Try up to three wedding and bridesmaid dresses, in any mix, before you decide. It's £75, and if you book a hire within 30 days, we'll send you a code to take the £75 off. There's also a £150 deposit, refunded once the dresses are back.
Can I buy and hire here?
Yes. Most of our dresses are to buy and keep, and many can also be hired, from four days. You'll see the hire option on the dress itself if it has one. Jewellery and gifts are to buy.
How is my dress delivered?
Everything goes by tracked delivery. If you're hiring, your dress arrives on the first day of your hire. We suggest starting your hire 2 to 3 days before your wedding, so there's time to try it on and nothing to worry about. Then send it back with the prepaid returns we include.
Can I have it altered?
Yes. Get in touch and we'll point you to our recommended alterations partners. Hired dresses can have temporary length alterations, case by case.
Can I talk to someone first?
Of course. Talk to us through the chat or the contact page, or book a styling session with Amelia Taylor.
