University Balls are such fun and an opportunity to create many long-lasting special memories with your college friends! Our lovely customer Molly shares with us what it was like to rent our Langhem Elisa Formal Gown - Black to her University of Melbourne College Ball:
Tell us about the special occasion you had and why you wanted to wear a designer dress for it?
I attended my residential college’s ball. What I could afford and what I wanted to wear were not the same at all. I wanted to wear something beautiful but not pay the hefty price tag. Renting a dress gave me the freedom of wearing a gorgeous designer dress while paying a more reasonable fee.
What was it about this occasion that made renting a dress so appealing for you?
Renting a dress is so much easier than buying a one. If I bought a dress, I would have to wear it to multiple occasions, but I didn’t want to do that. There are not a lot of occasions that call for ball gowns and it was economically better for me to rent a dress. Clothes should be worn, not living in your closet for most of your life. I knew if I bought a dress, I would rarely, or never, wear it again.
Tell us about the dress and the designer label you chose for your University Ball, and why you chose it?
I love dresses with sleeves and lace and this dress had both. I want my wedding dress to have these requirements as well. This dress was black, floor length, and had lace all over. I knew this dress was classy and elegant enough for a ball which was what I wanted. I like black dresses a lot and after reading how the dress should fit me, it was a perfect match.
Have you rented a dress before or was this your first time? For your first time renting a dress, what made you consider it?
This was my first time renting a dress. It is definitely not my last. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for a dress I would only wear on several occasions. I was at a wedding once and one of the guests wore a gorgeous dress and she told me she rented it. It makes sense to rent a dress for these occasions because buying one is so expensive. Men rent tuxedos, why can’t women rent dresses?
Tell us about how you first discovered GlamCorner?
I Googled rental shops in Australia and this was the first one on the search list. I like the design of the website and how user-friendly it is. Also, there were so many options and prices that I was quickly impressed and wanted to rent from GlamCorner!
How was your overall experience with GC (online and offline) and would you recommend us to other women?
I would highly recommend GC to other women. In fact, I already have! Everyone at the ball complimented my dress and asked where I got it, so I told them from GC and that I rented it. All of the women there were shocked to hear they could rent beautiful designer dresses at great value. I already plan on renting again for another occasion coming up.
It looks like you had such a great night Molly! We hope you've got so many fun memories from your University Ball and we're so glad we were able to make it extra special for you. We can't wait to see you again soon for your next event! :) xx
