Double feel good 😌

Dress was incredible. Double hit of confidence from wearing designer dress that I probably would never have had the courage to buy outright and kudos for the greener element of rental v buying.

Dress arrived with loads of time to try on (and match the best underwear and shoes with).

I go so many comments on the night. Was really really pleased. Thank you 🤩 Jane from Belfast

Lovely dresses, great customer service

I really liked the idea of being able to rent a dress for a black tie and being able to try it on as well as lots of other renting places don’t offer this. The dresses were gorgeous and comfortable. It’s also great that there are petite versions as other places also don’t really offer this. The only thing I’d like to see being improved is delivery times as I’ve ordered twice, first time parcel didn’t arrive on time and the second time it was delayed but arrived just in time for my event.

Never received item or refund

I never received my item. DHL said I signed for it, then left a photograph of the package left in front of my door. Sadly, my package appeared to have been stolen off my porch before I could collect it. Even though I filed a report through DHL, Girl Meets Dress have refused to issue me a refund and the customer service department have been horrifically unfriendly, acting like I am to blame. I am now thinking that they are not a real company and do not intend to refund me so I have now had to dispute this charge through my credit card company. When I informed Girl Meets Dress that I had begun the dispute process, they magically came back over e-mail, telling me that I had now delayed the refund they intended to provide, even though they had not originally informed of their intent to refund, despite my repeated emails. Total nightmare, and add to that I didn't have time to find another gown for my event in time, so I had to wear a repeat gown. If this is a real company, they have the worst customer service ever, so either way I do not recommend.

Great idea for one off events

Great idea for one off events, always find something special. Delivery is reliable and you only pay for what you wear… it’s perfect!

Fabulous customer service

Fabulous customer service . The ladies were really helpful suggesting which dresses to try in their try before hire option .
They were very flexible and accommodated me very close to an event I needed a dress for . The dresses are good quality and arrive well packaged and in great condition.
I’d definitely use them again .

stress not dress

The dresses arrived at 4.30pm on the actual day of the hire. Rather than pay for postage twice GMD held all the dresses for a late dress return making all the dresses late to me. They are uncontactable by phone and their messages made out they were doing me all the favours. If you hire for the 8th you should have them on the 7th not at the end of day on the 8th. They were really hopeless. This was my first time hiring, it was stressful, and I ended up having to wear an old dress as the dresses sent were not to my liking. Two fitted one didn't, which is fine. A blue grey one turned out to be grey though a nice fit and cut - grey is not a colour I wear and the Ralph Lauren plain blue safe choice dress, whilst fitted, it was tired looking and the holes where the belt went through showed flesh beneath, not quite the finish I would have expected. I won't be hiring again it was such a stressful experience. And bold of them to presume I was only needing the dress after 5pm.

In reply to GMD
You still don't seem to realise if you hire something for the 8th you have paid for it from the start of the day. For all you knew, because you didn't, I might have had needed the dresses for a daytime event, or had a few hours travel to the event I need the dress. Delivering in the evening of the day is the problem here, you still seem to be missing this point. Fine the dresses didn't work, but I had no time to rectify this or buy a replacement dress given I was heading out the door. At no time did you answer the phone, I tried a few times. Also you advertise that the customer doesn't pay postage, I had expected therefore to have a free postage returns bag but ended up unexpectedly paying for my return postage. This should be clearer.
I realise you are working hard behind the scenes, that's life, we all are, it's not something to worry the customer about or guilt them as to the lateness of your service.
I think that 1 star was a fair rating as you could have sent me 2 dresses on time and chose not to.

Dear Tamara,
Sorry you did not have the hire experience you expected on this occasion.
As a team we must reply and say a 1 star review on this occasion is very unfair. We delivered the dresses in time for your event. Yes, there was a 1 day delay from the previous customer so we had to decide - to either deliver the dresses to you on your event day (DHL choose morning or afternoon) or cancel the order completely. 
We chose to send you the dresses AND added extra dress options so you had more to try on.
We were in touch by email, live chat and always answer the phone. 
We also refunded you in full immediately when you returned them.

We are sorry to hear that you did not like any of the dresses. They are all very popular and were worn happily by other customers the week before. We deliver all our orders earlier than the reserved hire time free of charge whenever we can. We only want the customers to be happy, stress free and enjoy their events.

Apologies again,
Emma

I loved the dress I hired

I loved the dress I hired but was a bit disappointed when it arrived creased. I managed to get rid of some of the creases with a steamer but I did expect it to be ready to wear. I felt really nice in the dress though and would definitely use the site again, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends

Thank you for your kind words, we were very happy to hear that you recommend Girl Meets Dress to your friends.
Apologies for the slight creasing in the dress. We try our best to fold and wrap them neatly to minimize this. When possible (for local London deliveries) we send the dresses in a hanging bag so they are ready to wear.
Best wishes,
Sophie,
