Browsing
Every item available to rent is listed by size and category. You can easily get to where you want to be from the home page.
Open any item for a full description, measurements and pics. From the inline calendar you can see when the item is booked / available.
If you have any questions you can easily contact us directly from the Q&A chat link in the product listing. Alternatively, you can contact us via Facebook, or email us or use the live chat feature on the site. We are very happy to help.
Booking
To book, select the Friday of the weekend you need. Rentals are booked from Friday thru Sunday and are returned on Monday. If you have any questions regarding the fit, please contact us PRIOR to placing your order. Please see the link below for help with measurements.
All rentals are only confirmed after confirmation that the name and address on your ID matches the name and shipping address of the order you placed. There are absolutely no exceptions.
Payments
Multiple items, across multiple rental dates can be combined at a single checkout. 50% deposits can be made on all rentals that are more than 14 days out from your rental date. You have the choice to make a deposit or pay in full.
PayPal, Venmo and all major credit / debit cards are accepted.
You have the opportunity to apply to PayPal or Affirm for financing. Decisions to approve or decline applications are the responsibility of the respective lenders. Gemics LLC has no leverage in this regard.
Shipping (to & from)
We will ship to you on the Monday before your booked date and you will receive tracking via email.
You have a choice of shipping. We offer the regular UPS cost calculator within the store, or you can elect to provide your own UPS shipping label. You must email the label pdf file to us in time. We will confirm receipt.
We provide the return shipping label. You will find it inside the box.
Alterations and Care
There is no Renter-Renter shipping.
All rented items are shipped from our studio directly to you and are returned to us for cleaning, inspection and any necessary TLC. Cleaning each outfit between uses is not only a legal requirement to keep you safe, it is important to the ongoing upkeep of our inventory and profoundly affects the next renter's experience.
To ensure the perfect fit, we will undertake any minor alterations for you ahead of shipping, at no extra cost. There is no reason for you to use any type of glue or pin, so please do not!
Dresses & Outfits
Custom Dress Rentals

Sales
Completed & Ready to Ship
Roughly, half our work is sold to private collectors and businesses.
As soon a s dress is completed, we post it for sale. Everyone is afforded an equal opportunity to purchase a dress. There are no pre-paid deposits or holds offered. If you like it, buy it. If not, there will be another!

Leave It To Lou
Want a dress designed for you without so much of the stress?
With the LITL approach you can order a brand new dress in the size you need, created with all your likes & dislikes in mind.
In our long-standing tradition of naming dresses, you get to name your dress.
How It Works
We'll post pics showing the bling and fabrics we'll be working with and the sizing it is available in. If you like the general direction, and it can be made to your size, you can purchase it.
Your dress will be finished in about 7-14 days.
Pics & video will be shared ahead of shipping for your approval.

Payment Plans & Financing
Payment Plans
Adhering to the KISS principle, this is a straight forward financing plan:
- All payments are Non-Refundable and Non Transferable. A store credit will be issued and your order cancelled in the event that you default on the payment schedule.
- Your purchase is divided into 4 equal installments
- The installments are spaced evenly at 1 week intervals
- 25% down, 25% on each subsequent week for 3 weeks
- As a courtesy, you will receive automated email reminders ahead of payment dates. Regardless of receipt of these reminders or not, it is still your responsibility to make payments in a timely manner. We will not be chasing you for payment.
- Your dress will be scheduled for completion in 7-14 days from final installment
- There is no interest charged.
Locating the payment plan details:



Most LITL dresses have the flexibility to offer the choice to pay in full or go on the payment plan. You are still able to Affirm payments, if you'd like to. Depending on our studio schedule, some dresses may not offer payments (we may have time available within 7-14 days) which we would like to fill with work orders, or conversely, some may only be available on a payment plan (because we have a busy week or two ahead of us). Some customers may prefer a longer timeframe.
