from 148 reviewsThis two piece for a beach maternity photo shoot was beyond perfect ! I felt comfortable and stylish!
Service was impressive from searching online to returning it in the post. I would recommend everything lace hire and this outfit to any pregnant mamma’s!
Renting from Everything Lace Hire was my first time ever renting a piece of clothing as a photographer. I was blown away with how easy the process and service was. I cannot wait to hire again in the future!
Amazing quality such beautiful pieces and a very easy process to receive and send back the items. Will definitely be back to hire more goodies.
Cannot thank Chloe enough! I decided last minute (2 weeks prior) to hire a dress for a shoot with my son. As I looked late at night, I put the perfect dress in my cart, only for it to be booked out the next morning! I messaged Chloe as soon as I realised my dates were blocked out and she immediately went into ‘do everything I can for my customer mode’. I could not thank her enough. She organised for the dress to be delivered directly to me from the previous customer so I didn’t miss out.
The dress was immaculate and would not hesitate to use Everything Lace Hire again. I have already recommended to all of my friends.
Absolutely loved my outfit. The quality was great and it was fast delivery. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone. Great experience!!
Chloe is exceptional, she goes above and beyond for her clients.
This dress was just what I was looking for. The price is amazing, the shipping was quick and easy, even to my rural town. The dress arrived a day earlier than planned! I'm size 20-22 while pregnant and paired the dress with nude/white underwear. I'm also quite tall and was surprised how much flow the dress still had! Thank you so much for making my maternity photos come true!
I hired this dress for my maternity shoot and being a plus size girly (size 20), I was definitely nervous. I loved the option to hire a “back up dress” at a discounted rate in the event your dress doesn’t fit or wasn’t right for you.
The dress arrived a few days prior to schedule which released the nerves of it not arriving on time. I loved that I didn’t need to think about cleaning the dress following the shoot or organising Postage as it is all inclusive. The process was made super easy and I honestly couldn’t recommend this company more.
Now back to the dress, it was absolutely stunning and I received so many compliments. It was perfectly long and super flowy and it fit amazingly (even with a little wiggle room). I wore a nice slip dress underneath which photographed beautifully. The chocolate colour really popped in the photos.
I am so grateful to have found my dream dress with a company that is size inclusive!!
Thank you so much!!
I hired the gypsy set for a maternity shoot and it was perfect. The set arrived early which was great incase it didn’t suit me/fit me, the instructions were easy to follow on how to return and how to look after the garment. I wore a maternity bra underneath and pulled the straps down. Otherwise I had no shape. The whole process was so easy and I love that this service exists. Thank you!
I wore this beautiful piece as my wedding dress and I felt so impeccable. My husband and everyone complimented me on how amazing I looked. Thank you Everything Lace Hire for making my feel beautiful on my wedding day
I could not of been any happier with this piece it was perfect. The sunset just over my belly creating a glow and reflection of the dress.
I love my pictures so much thank you
Absolutely loved this set! The quality of it was amazing and it was exactly as pictured. It was at my door within 24 hours too! You have been amazing to deal with! Thanks! Will definitely be ordering again xx
As always, perfect dress with a super easy process of renting and returning.
I loved this set for my photoshoot I felt amazing and my partner agreeded. It showed off my bump just how I wanted.
Thank you I have just booked my newborn photoshoot dress
I was blown away by the service from Everything Lace Hire such a beautiful business. Dress arrived in plenty of time and was in perfect condition. It was wrapped so beautifully so you can see they put alot of care into their business. I will be back to hire more and let all my friends now they must hire a dress
