Couture House

I needed a dress for a work xmas party and I don’t own any. I am not one to get super dressed up. I knew that I didn’t want to spend tons of money for something that I knew that I was only going to wear one time. I ending up searching online for a rental place and the Couture House popped up. Their site seemed to have a good number of dresses and it seemed like it would be a good price for what I needed. I love the fact that I was able to make an appointment online. I also liked the fact that they require appointments, for the most part. This allowed my stylist to be more focused on helping me than trying to help lots of other people at the same time. I love the fact that they had lots of items to choose from for even us thicker girls. In addition to the dresses they also had all different kinds of accessories to choose from so that you could complete your look. I received so many compliments on my dress!!! People who I didn’t know were coming from across the room to compliment the dress. I had to break down and tell people my secret, it was a rental from Couture House. I ended up feeling like a walking advertisement and I should have had some of their business cards on me! I will be returning next year with some of my friends!!!

Well I spent $ 150 to rent a gown for my daughter that really didnt fit her well, had small holes in the tool (they said they would fix but didnt), abd had sequins falling off. They did a horrible job hemming it (yes i paid $ 50 for alterations) and after the 3^rd time we just took the dress and left. Never again. My fault I agreed to rent this horrible dress.

I scheduled an appointment a month before my boyfriends prom and then I received a phone call the day of my appointment saying that they could not rent out any more prom dresses for the weekend of my boyfriends prom. I told them I understood and if I could just come and look at the dresses that were for purchase. When I went they didn’t help me at all but the people renting were getting tons of help. My boyfriend had to zip up almost all of my dresses and when he couldn’t I had to walk around looking for someone to help me. When I found someone I would ask for them to help me and they were very rude. I would not recommend this place if you are purchasing, you don’t matter to them. Now if you are purchasing maybe. They also had very little for purchasing which I found weird cause you would make more off the ones for purchase but it is what it is. I don’t recommend this place at all.

I may update my review once we see the dress on our rental day but for now it’s three stars. So many dresses to choose from. Wonderful personal help from the young ladies offering suggestions and recommendations. I am concerned that the tulle on the dress my daughter chose was very worn by staff assured me they repair everything and replace if needed! Space is cramped but your not really there to move around do I suppose it’s okay. Suggestion, go months in advance because once a dress is booked for your date you are out of luck!

So I deducted a star only for location since I live in the Medical Center. I love the idea of renting a gown for an event for $ 100 instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a gown only for it to sit in your closet. An added plus is that you can alterations and accessories all in the same place. They even have shoes that you can rent for the occasion.
On both occasions I was promptly greeted and was assisted with finding the perfect gowns for Mardi Gras balls. Now keep in mind that these are rentals and these gowns have been worn before so expect some wear and tear. Another thing I noticed was the hem on one of my gowns wasn’t that great. My heal kept getting caught in the loop. I would definitely recommend this place for last minute gown needs

If you need a dress for any occasion and for cheap but still beautiful then this is the best place to go. They have a wide selection of dresses to pick from and they also give you any alterations you need. You can also rent your shoes, jewelry, and get the most beautiful flowers made if you need to. They also have the sweetest staff you can meet who help you in any way they can best customer service ever!!!

I am a little short and I always need my pants hemmed to fit me just right. I have always been very pleased with the service. Customer service is also always great! I also have my daughters clothes altered here as well. We have always be so pleased and will always do our business here. Thanks!

Couture House Rentals has been a life saver for me and m husband in The Woodlands. When they first opened, I rented a dress for my daughter for Christmas Pictures. It was the most beautiful and unique dress with these gorgeous cream feathers. I got a million compliments on her dress after I sent out our Christmas cards.
A few years later, I asked them to custom make a gown for a local charity event. I had brought in a picture of a designer gown that I had fallen in love with and asked them to make something similar… well, she nailed it! It was PERFECT and an absolute showstopper. People still talk about the dress. I could not have been more happy with it.
We also use them to alter my husbands suits and many dresses. We have always been so pleased with their work.
I HIGHLY recommend Couture House Rentals. Good service and really great people!

I love Rent the Runway but am always weary about not being able to try the dresses on. Then I found New for the Night which closed after only a couple of visits. I was thrilled to find Couture House.
My first appointment was last week and I was looking for a maid of honor dress. I went to their second location off Durham and what a beautiful place… very chic. The lady pulled a number of dresses to try on, then told us about prices and services. I was over the moon when she told us that not only could dresses be altered but their seamstress could make any dress, even based on pictures and then rented! What?! This was our first stop in dress shopping and I did find one I really liked but we thought we’d continue shopping elsewhere to not be hasty.
The lady working there later contacted the bride to let her know that she pulled more dresses from the Woodlands location so we went back today. Again, very friendly and attentive but not smothering at all. She let us do our thing which I can’t say of all dress places (and I’ve been to many because I’m getting married soon too). We ended up loving two dresses — the top half of one and the bottom of another — we were told no problem… she’d have the seamstress cut the dress apart and make the perfect dress. Have you heard of anything more amazing? Anything we wanted to do, she said it could be done. So we got really creative and explained what we wanted done to a dress. She made an appointment for us to meet the seamstress and sent our request over. She’s having the dress sent to the other location and after the appointment it will only be a few weeks.
I cannot rave about this place enough. The entire experience was so wonderful and I’m incredibly excited about being able to take a great dress and changing it up to tailor it to make it perfect for me. On top of all of this, it is completely a reasonable price and even cheaper than some of the dresses I’ve gotten from RTR. Courture House has risen to the top of my list for places to find the perfect dress. The ability to adapt and create dresses makes them stand apart above all others. Absolutely amazing!
Update — I had a great experience as written above and gave five stars. It went down to two because I had my dress custom made. The dress was horribly made. The front had a straight cut at the chest and it was actually lopsided. I pointed it out to the seamstress but she never did anything about it. The was a random pin poking out of the body where the strap was sewn in that kept poking me throughout the night. Lastly, we added straps at the final dress fitting and she literally just threw them in with a single stitch. It was work I could have done. She didn’t even cut the excess material on the strap. I was very disappointed with the final product. When I turned in my dress I let them know about all of this and I didn’t even receive a courtesy call. It will take a lot to get me to ever try that process again.
