It’s common for men to rent tuxedos—but did you know that women can rent formal wear as well?
It’s an affordable way to look your best for a special occasion; and certainly more economical than spending hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on a dress you’ll only wear once.
Check your yellow pages to find a rental service in your area. They’ll typically offer a range of formal attire, from cocktail dresses to bridal gowns.
