How to Hire

 

All our outfits for hire are one of a kind ‘Modern Originals’. We do not have multiple size’s of each outfit. The size given is the largest size that will fit the outfit. If you are unsure if an outfit will fit check your measurements and contact us to ask. 

 

To find out more about an outfit, contact us to let us know what outfit you are interested in and what date/s you need it for. Please read our Terms and Conditions (scroll down) before hiring.

 

Payment is required to confirm booking. If you would prefer another payment method just contact us and we will sort it out for you.

 

We post to the whole of the mainland UK. There is an additional charge to post to Highlands and Islands. 

 

When hiring, 7 days are allowed as standard; one for receipt, one just in case the Post Office are late, three for use and two for return. If the hire period is over a Bank holiday the extra days will be at no extra charge. We can however be flexible! Just ask and we will see what we can do. Please note however; if you do not post the outfit back on the agreed date you will be charged for an extra hire period.

 

We use Royal Mail or Courier as our delivery service. You will need to be in to receive the package and so we are happy to deliver to an alternate address (work for example) just let us know. At the end of the hire period you are responsible for packing up the outfit in the packaging supplied and then taking it to a Post Office counter or arranging delivery by courier. Please ask Post Office staff for a Proof of Postage.

 

There is no need to wash or launder the outfit, we do that for you as part of the price.

 

If you have any questions, please ask, we are here to help!
