Looking for the perfect outfit for an upcoming event? Instead of buying something you’re only going to wear once, why not rent one?

Our go-to for a little dress rental magic is The Fitzroy. Owned and operated by BFFs Angela Pastor and Julie Buczkowski, The Fitzroy stocks dress rentals from brands like For Love And Lemons, Ronny Kobo, Rachel Zoe, Reformation, and more, as well as handbags.

We dropped by The Fitzroy, which is located at 225 Sterling Road in Toronto, with our friend Tanya Casole-Gouveia, who was looking for an outfit to rent for Art Battle, an event that she hosts at The Gladstone Hotel in Toronto.

Take a peek at some of the dresses she tried on and what she ended up picking!
