Why should you rent your formal dress instead of buying?

Hi, my name is Tiarna, and I’m the founder of Shortandsweethire. My passion for dress hire started when I was in grade 12, searching for a formal dress to wear to my school events. I remember buying one dress and hiring another, and to my surprise, I loved the one I hired even more than the one I spent $900 on. That moment sparked a passion that grew from just four dresses to now 1,800 with sizes ranging from 4 to 12! 

What I’ve realised throughout my 8 year journey, is how empowering dress hire is. Formal dresses are often worn just once, and after that, they sit in the back of a closet. Take it from me, my $900 dress has never been touched since that night. But the formal dresses we rent? They get loved by so many girls, making them part of countless special memories. By choosing to hire, you’re not just saving money; you’re making a choice that’s kinder to the environment. Each dress that’s rented gets another chance to shine, giving you a beautiful dress for a fraction of the cost and allowing us all to reimagine fashion in a more sustainable way.

One of the things I love most is that I now get to dress girls all over Australia. I offer Australia wide shipping, so no matter where you are in the country, I can help you find your dream dress. There’s nothing I love to see more than making formal experiences beautiful and simple for girls from all corners of the country.

I can’t wait to help you find a dress that makes your formal night as special as it should be!

With love,
