Marchesa, Mischka & Miller...Now for Rent!

Worried about breaking that already-vulnerable budget on chic frocks for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and summer cocktail parties? Well, fret no more. Enter Ilus NYC, a hot new downtown designer dress rental boutique, where you can rent designer dresses for 3+ days at a time for a low cost. Talk about guilt-free style.

We're not talking used prom dresses or mother-of-the-bride leftovers, ladies. Ilus carries Badgley Mischka Platinum, Nicole Miller, Jill Stuart, Marchesa, and many other designers. This sunset/indigo ombre charmeuse gown by Nicole Miller is available for $130 (+ 10 cleaning fee) -- original price? $680!

Think: special events, weddings/rehearsal dinners, mom's to be, or anyone that is changing size frequently. Who wants to purchase an expensive designer dress for an event to wear once? It's a great way to extend your wardrobe without having to deal with the cost of a dress that you may never wear again. Ilus also carries accessories like clutches, wraps and jewels.

When it’s time to return your dress, simply drop the dress off at their Nolita location, or schedule a pick up by phone or email (how convenient is that?!). And, they ship outside of NYC. If you fall in love with the dress, yes, you can buy it!

Recession treat on us: Receive 25% off your first rental at Ilus NYC by mentioning "Chandelier Events". Happy Shopping!
