Yes to the Dress

Unless your fairy godmother is in town, your rags won’t turn into a ball gown overnight. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck wearing the same old thing to every holiday party this year.

A Badgley Mischka (pictured), Diane von Furstenberg, Catherine Malandrino or Pucci are only a click away at Cakewalk Designer Dress Rentals. Make an appointment for a fitting with a stylist, or simply choose the dress you want shipped to your house online, wear it and return it the next day. Rentals start from $50 depending on the retail price of the dress, and a variety of sizes are available in each style. The Calgary company also offers hair and make-up styling for a head-to-toe transformation.

Head to Hotel Arts this Monday for a three-day open house where you can see the current selection of dresses, try them on and meet the stylists.

Glass slippers and handsome princes not included.

Cakewalk Designer Dress Rentals open house, November 8-11, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at Hotel Arts, 119 12th Ave. SW, Calgary, www.beautyuncovered.ca
