Which rental dress for a wedding guest?

I'm going to a wedding in August - posh hotel and very stylish couple, so want to step up my game (also bored of my lazy lockdown wardrobe) and rent a fancier dress than what I'd be able to afford to buy

What do we think of these? Any good?
I'm 5'2" and size 8/10

If anyone is around / still cares (!)... what are thoughts on this dress? It would be just a above the ankles on me

Yes, that’s very pretty.
Just above the ankles is fine re length.

I'm fascinated by this idea of renting dresses - how do they ensure cleanliness between wears?
I'd hate to put on a dress smelling of someone else's deodorant (or worse BO) or perfume
Do they dry clean them all each time?

If very stylish I wouldn't think any of them, none look very smart. But then I am older

The strappy self portrait is pretty, it's a safe bet and this style is worn to loads of weddings in my area. I personnally prefer the turquoise rixo though as more stylish.

The steph rixo is nice!

The turquoise one.

@UnreasonablyPissedOff There's a few different companies that do it - but yes, part of the rental fee includes dry cleaning. So you always get a clean dress/item of clothing, wear it, send it back, lender dry cleans.

I've looked at all of them and the turquoise Rixo dress is the winner for me. Definitely no to the purple off the shoulder one. Looks like it would come from Next, so not high end.

@Vohgue Yes, I think the strappy Self Portrait one is really pretty. But also could see other guests wearing the same/very similar.

I quite like the turquoise and 'Steph' Rixo ones...think they're more stylish and young without looking like I'm trying to hard to be trendy
