Gala Dinner Event Dress Tips, & 6 Places To Get Them

Are you looking for a gala dinner dress for your next function? Do you find these special occasions fun to attend but often struggle to find the right evening wear for the occasion? If you’ve answered yes to even just one of these two questions, then we have the answers you’re looking for.

In this article, we take a look at some of the best evening gown dress places in Singapore that offer options to rent or buy. Finding the perfect gala dress for your next hotel ballroom event just got a whole lot easier!

When it comes to choosing evening wear, the number one question people often ask is, ‘Should I buy or rent’? Some of the challenges you may face when trying to answer this question include:

• Buying evening wear can be expensive while renting can be time-consuming.
• Choosing to buy evening wear means you will have one outfit, which might not be ideal to wear to consecutive gala events if many of the same people are attending. (You don’t want it to be obvious that you only own one gala dinner outfit!)
• Renting may require you to have the outfit dry-cleaned before you return it the next day. This can be challenging if you’re already facing time constraints.
• It can be difficult to find the right style and size if you’re not sure where to look.

How do you know if you should buy or rent?

Buy Evening Wear If:

• You attend many gala dinner functions – buying allows you to build up a collection, making it easy to choose an outfit.
• The evening gowns are not theme-specific which means you can wear them to a variety of different functions.

Rent Evening Wear If:

• You require gala dresses or evening gowns in specific themes or colours.
• The gala dinner you’re attending is a once-off and you’ll have no purpose for the dress or outfit afterwards.

Whether you opt to buy or rent your outfit may depend on the type of function you’re attending. For instance, choosing to buy an elegant, but simple, black Oscar de la Renta gown will allow you to use the outfit more than once.

By changing accessories such as scarves, belts, jackets and even jewellery, you’ll easily be able to change your look for different functions. With that said, let’s look at some of the more popular places to rent and buy the perfect evening wear.
