High-fashion, designer clothes and accessories are seemingly out of reach for many people. But it’s no longer the case with Borrow a Dress Couture,
To nab a special dress for a special occasion like a wedding, date, birthday, reunion or for the holidays, it costs between $35 and $400 for a three-day rental. It’s a huge savings from buying the garment outright, which would cost anywhere from $200 to $3,000.
Long-time North Side Chicagoans Bree Lara and Teonna Ingram recognized that young women wanted stylish, chic clothing but could not always afford it. Young ladies were borrowing dresses from each other and even illegally from department stores to stay in vogue. That’s when Bree and Teona stepped in to help.

Teonna calls the store’s merchandise “a diverse selection of great dresses that are in style now.”
Borrow a Dress Couture carries Vera Wang, Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana, just to name a few. And they have sizes 0 to 18 and maternity wear. The store leases clutches and high-style coats and jackets to complement the dresses and provide a full evening look.
