This is a difficult one as it varies from dress to dress depending on the style, material and amount of detail involved. But to give you a rough estimate, for dresses that we have in stock, the hiring price ranges from approx. R2 200 to R5000, to buy from R3500 and if we have to order a dress in for you the hiring price is from R6800. It does depend on the Rand/Dollar rate as well but we really try and keep prices as affordable as possible.
