How Hire Works

Hiring with Attira takes a few minutes online. Every booking is checked by us personally, and you only pay once we have confirmed your dress is yours. Here is what happens, step by step.

1. Choose your dress and dates

Browse the collection and open a dress you love. On its page, choose:

• Your size. Our dresses come in Australian sizes 6 to 12. Each dress page has the size guide and fit notes.
• Your hire length. 4, 8 or 30 days. Longer hires cost a little more and give you more time with the dress.
• Delivery. Express Post anywhere in Australia, or free local pickup in Brisbane.
• Your start date. This is the day the dress arrives with you, or the day you pick it up. The calendar only lets you pick dates when your size is free. Posted dresses need about 4 business days notice, and pickups 3 days.

Once you pick a date, the hire box shows the day it arrives, the day your hire ends and the day to post it back, along with the price.

2. Send your booking request

Add the dress to your bag and go to checkout. Enter your name, email and delivery address, tick the box to agree to our Hire Policy and Privacy Policy, and send your request.

Nothing is charged at this step. The dress is held for you while we look at your request, and you will get an email straight away to say we have received it.

3. We approve it

We check every request by hand to make sure the dress is in perfect condition and can reach you in time. If we can’t take your booking, we will email you, nothing is charged, and we will help you find another dress or dates.

4. Pay to confirm

Once approved, we email you a secure payment link. Pay by card through Stripe within 48 hours, and your booking is confirmed. We keep the dress held for you until then. You will get a confirmation email with your dates and order details.

5. Your dress arrives

We send your dress by tracked Express Post 3 business days before your start date, so it reaches you in time even interstate, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear. Australia Post doesn’t deliver on weekends or public holidays, so if your start date falls on one your dress arrives by the business day before. Try it on as soon as it arrives. If it doesn’t fit, email us within 24 hours.

Picking up in Brisbane

Choose local pickup when you book and there is no postage to pay. Collect your dress in Mitchelton on your start date and drop it back the day after your hire ends. Once your booking is confirmed we email you the address and arrange a time.

6. Wear it and send it back

Enjoy your event. On the last day of your hire (or the next business day, if that falls on a weekend or public holiday), pop the dress in the prepaid return satchel included in your parcel and drop it at the post office. There is no need to clean it, as professional cleaning is included in the price.
