The Borrowed Bump is a maternity gown rental service offering thoughtfully curated, high-end dresses for photoshoots, baby showers, and special occasions. Our collection allows expecting mothers to enjoy luxury style without the commitment of purchasing a gown for one-time wear. We also offer non-luxury options for those looking for simple & more affordable!

Simply browse our collection, select your desired gown, and choose your rental dates. Worried about fit? You can schedule a try on appointment!

Our standard rental period is 3–5 days to allow flexibility for photoshoots or events. Extended rental options may be available upon request.

We recommend reserving your gown as early as possible, especially if you have a specific photoshoot date or baby shower scheduled. Popular styles tend to book quickly.

Our gowns are designed with maternity in mind and often feature flexible, bump-friendly silhouettes. Each listing includes detailed sizing and fit notes to help you choose confidently.

Absolutely! We offer two convenient try-on options: Day-of Pickup: Concerned about fit? Try on your gown when you come to pick it up. If it doesn’t feel quite right or you’d like a different style, you may choose an available replacement or receive a refund on your security deposit. (Please note: deposits are not refundable for cancellations of rental dates.) Pre-Rental Try-On Appointment: Want to explore multiple options before making your selection? Schedule a private pre-rental try-on for $50 and find the gown that feels perfect for you. Tip: We recommend booking your pre-rental try-on no more than one month before your photoshoot or event, as maternity shapes change quickly.

Yes, as long as both fall within your selected rental period. If you need additional time, please reach out prior to booking to discuss extended rental options.

You will return to the studio to drop off your gown on the evening of your rental end date (weekday) or morning of your rental end date (weekend). We will coordinate a time that works for both of us. I will inspect the gown and if everything looks good, I will initiate the security deposit refund. If damage has occurred, you will be billed additionally for damage.

Cancellations and refunds are subject to our rental policy. Please review our terms carefully before booking, or contact us with questions.

If a gown is never returned for any circumstance the fee of 200% purchase price of a new gown will be charged towards your Credit Card.
