Melbourne Cup day is fast approaching, with festivities set to explode across the country on Tuesday, November 2.

And now that lockdowns have lifted in just about every state and city across the country, just about every Australian can participate in the celebrations.

That means there’s no better time to update your wardrobe with a brand new frock for race day, or rent something special just for the occasion.

Renting an outfit is a more sustainable option than buying a new frock for every occasion, or you can get on the sustainable fashion trend by reselling your dress after Melbourne Cup day.

Whether you’re looking for an affordable option you can add to your everyday rotation, or something extra special with a matching price tag, we’ve got you sorted.
