Melbourne Cup Dress Hire

While there is no formal dress code for the Melbourne Cup, it is the most important event on the Spring Racing Carnival calendar, so wear large, colourful, and bold. Statement fascinators, even bigger hats, bold designs, and tailoring are all on the menu (if you like). Because it's still an official event, all of the usual race day rules apply.

Go bold or go home we say!

Sustainability is important to us - that's why we post our items in reusable cardboard boxes! Return postage is covered in the postage price. To return your item you simply need to replace the original shipping label on the box with the return sticker label that arrived inside your box with your item!

What if it doesn't arrive on time?

Express postage generally takes 1-2 business days if located in the Next day network (unless there are major delays in the network). 

For regional NSW customers please select our 8 Day hire option to ensure the weekend prior is booked out and the item can be sent with plenty of time to get there. For peace of mind our Sydney can also choose 8-day hire options to get it posted nice and early.
