Rentals *start at $150 with a $250 refundable security deposit. The deposit is promptly refunded upon return of the dress in good condition. Renter also pays ~$25 shipping. Rentals are for one shoot day. You’ll receive the dress the day or 2 before your shoot date and will return ship the day after your shoot date. Additional days are available @ $25/2 days.
There are no time restrictions. Days or months before your shoot or event. There’s an additional $25 charge if a dress is reserved within 5 days of the date needed. So it’s possible to contact us on a Tues & ask to have a dress in hand on Sat. A case like this will also require FedEx shipping.

TBD on an individual basis. Please do not use the dress near fireworks or sparklers. They leave tiny holes in the parachutes.
The skirts are easy to “flap”, usually 2 people on each side is best. If there’s a breeze manual flapping may not be required. I do not recommend a fan anywhere close to the skirt- it can get sucked in from the backside. Some clients use a leaf blower.
