No recommendations, but hire when you get there. It will save worries about creases. There are subtle cultural style differences that they'll be able to advise on. I think dress hire and black tie events are more of a thing in the states so you'll get a better choice too. A friend in the charity sector used to do it all the time in Washington for fundraisers, she got to wear some amazing gowns.
