Your brother/sister/cousin/friend/whatever just called and they’re getting married. Great! And they want your son/daughter to be their ring bearer/flower girl. Great! Except that you’re going to have to pay out the wazoo for some fancy outfit they’re going to wear once.
Or perhaps you need the perfect little outfit for Easter. Or Christmas. Again, you don’t want to pay a ton for an outfit that’s not going to get much wear.
Finally, there’s the perfect solution – Gaga’s. Why someone didn’t think of this before, I don’t know. It’s pure genius.
Gaga’s rents children’s formalwear. They’ve got all varieties of dresses, tuxedos and suits, sailor suits, sundresses, sunsuits, plus all the accessories – handbags, hairbows, hosiery, shoes, etc.
You pick the outfit (prices start at $15 for a 3 week rental, plus shipping), and they send it to you with a postage paid return label. Your little one wears it, and you send it back. And because the rental period is 3 weeks, you don’t have to rush to get it back the next day. The best part – you don’t have to wash it! They take care of it! If you get a stain on it, they ask that you call them, because they may want you to pre-treat it before you send it back. Or, they may want you to dry clean it. If they do, they’ll give you TWICE the amount you paid on dry cleaning as a credit for future orders.
Of course, if you get the outfit, and love it so much that you don’t want to send it back, you can buy it! They even have never-worn items you can buy on clearance.
It’s such a fantastic idea! I just wish I had an event we needed an outfit for!

That is the most fantastic idea ever! I will definitely have to keep this in mind for future use now that I have DD. Thanks so much for blogging about this!!
