"I used a fashion rental service for my best friend's wedding and..."

BY The WMG Bride | 01 Feb, 2016 | 9851 views | 3 min read

It all started with one sentence:

"So you know, the reception is going to be western style. Everyone is wearing gowns".

Wait. What?

I had all my clothes sorted for my best friend's wedding in Goa, right from the welcome night, to the pool side Mehendi, to the beach pheras and everything in between. With soooo many functions to think of, this new 'theme' was a total surprise and I realised the sari from my trousseau I had planned to wear, wouldn't cut it in the sit-down reception.
So, after browsing the markets, I realised I would have to shell out atleast 25K+ on a new outfit. Now, I had already bought two new outfits, and given the theme, I wasn't sure I would even wear this gown again. So I decided I was going to try out something I had spotted on Instagram- an outfit rental service called Flyrobe .  I didn't even tell my parents initially, because I knew they might not get it , but I knew once they saw the outfit they would come around. My friends ofcourse totally got it, and even went on to find some outfits for themselves ;)

I downloaded the app, found a beautiful red and gold gown with cutout detailing and placed an order somewhat nervously.  The rental price for my outfit was just 5000 Rs for 6 days, and I had to  pay a deposit amount of 6500 Rs which is fully refundable. Now,  I still had a backup, because you never know what goes wrong with online shopping you know? But I was pleasantly surprised when the team came over to my place to do a trial fitting for me. They adjusted the dress to my measurements (it was slightly loose at the hips and the arms) and then delivered it on the date I requested. Kudos to the efficient customer service which was always available to answer my query.

Co-incidentally, out of the outfits I had got made, this one got me the maximum amount of compliments. I'm glad I didn't use a backup outfit - this stole the show.  I am a stickler for good quality fabric because online shops have that tacky, net which just looks awful but this was nice rich raw silk!

The final day !

After I wore it, Flyrobe sent someone over to collect the dress, my deposit was also returned to my account within 7 days once I sent them a reminder and overall I would definitely use this again.
