Try Ons
Yes, we do! Book your 20-minute appointment via our try on section today.
A $20 booking fee is required. This fee is a non-refundable deposit that can be redeemable towards any hire booked from the appointment.
If you are wanting to try on a specific garment, please mention the garment name and size in the booking notes and we will try our best to accommodate this.
It is the clients responsibility to confirm dress availability prior to their appointment. However, we will do our best to contact you if the dress you wish to try on is unavailable.
Please DM us on Instagram @ladesignerhire if you have any questions or queries
regarding our Try Ons.
Yes, we do offer local pick up try ons!
To arrange, simply head to our website and book the dress for your preferred try on date, and add the words “PICK UP TRY ON” in the order notes at checkout.
Here’s how it works:
- Simply head to the live calendar under each dress and book it for your ideal try on date.
- Write “PICK UP TRY ON” in your order comments at check out, so we know this booking is for a try on.
- The full hire fee is required to be paid upfront via our website (since the item is leaving the studio). This acts as a refundable deposit.
- Try on dress must be returned within 24 hours of collection in its original condition.
If you decide to go ahead with a dress from your try on, we will provide you with a code to secure the dress for your event date at no extra cost. If you decide not to proceed, we will process a refund minus a $20 try-on fee, once the garment has been returned 🤍
