Who knew hiring a dress was so easy?
Who knew hiring a dress was so easy?! Lottie was amazing in answering any questions I had quickly and the dress arrived on time in immaculate condition, overall a very painless experience which I will be doing it again for my upcoming weddings/events.
Beautiful dress and amazing service
Beautiful dress and amazing service! Would definitely use again x
amazing dress, amazing experience
Wore the most beautiful Rat & Boa dress for my engagement party - it turned up earlier than expected which meant I had time to try it on and make sure I was super happy with it (which I was!) and it was the star of the evening. I felt amazing in it and Lottie was so helpful. Such an easy experience, like many it’s always daunting to rent vs buy, but I will absolutely use Only Once again! Thank you Lottie!!
Love the dress
Love the dress, worth to hire, although love to keep the dress. Making me feeling so good and glamorous! Loads of people compliment! I won for best dressed for female! Lottie who dealt with me, she was so helpful and brilliant to me, I thank you. Highly recommended 🌟

Fantastic experience, I highly recommend
I had a red carpet event and decided to hire a few items (as I wanted to have back up options.) Lottie could not have been more helpful and was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
The outfits arrived in plenty of time and were absolutely stunning and very high quality. I felt incredible in the jumpsuit I wore and had so many compliments.
I’m gutted to send the garments back but will definitely be using Only Once Dress Hire again - they really are a fabulous company and I could not recommend them more xx

I was 100% happy with my dress it was stunning and in perfect condition I felt a million dollars and so happy I had come across Only Once Dress Hire, the service was brilliant and I will most definitely use again I would recommend to everyone to use.
Dresses never arrived :(
Dresses never arrived... :( had to go find and buy a dress last minute before the event which was really stressful and pricey.
Royal mail subsequently lost the entire package. Not entirely Only Once's fault, but am quite disappointed as I had a good experience previously.

Looked beautiful
A perfect experience
This is the second time I’ve used Only Once Dress Hire and it was another fabulous experience. The dress came in good time, beautifully wrapped with a gorgeous handwritten note from Lottie, and it completely stole the show on the night.
Felt such a treat to be able to wear such a stunning dress to an event in such an affordable manner.
Thanks Lottie xx
Absolutely loved using only once
Absolutely loved using only once. The dress was stunning and Lottie was so helpful! A perfect website to use if you are looking for something special at a decent cost. Thank you !
Excellent
After being let down twice by the biggest dress rental brand, I discovered Once Only Dress Hire and I cannot recommend them more. Lottie was super helpful when I explained the issues I had faced with the other company. She discussed sizing with me and was more than accomadating to my requests. The dress I rented was in perfect condition and came on time. I highly recommend hiring from Lottie, she is professional and provides a 5 star service!
