Mama Rentals

Mama Rentals Australia's first and largest dress hire for before, during and after pregnancy. Why buy something you would only ever wear once?

Hire one of a kind maternity dresses from us - save money, look amazing and reduce fashion waste all at the same time! Hi, I'm Alice, the founder of Mama Rentals. I started planning my own maternity photoshoot when I was about 7 months pregnant. Being someone who is passionate about the environment and striving to live a waste free/minimalist lifestyle, I didn't want to buy new dresses that I woul

d only wear once. I searched many second hand and fashion rental websites, but nothing was quite as nice as the gowns I envisaged for my maternity photos, something flowy, feminine and romantic that is perfect for an outdoor photo shoot. So I started this idea of hiring out maternity gowns for maternity photo sessions and other special occasions to mama to be’s in Australia. I wanted to help expecting mums out there to save money and look incredible, as well as to reduce the amount of textile waste we create as a whole. With this idea in mind, I stumbled across beautiful maternity designer brands like Fillyboo Maternity who also happens to be a sustainable fashion label. We have also included dresses from much loved desginer brands such as Coven&Co, Spell and Reclamation. In order to make Mama Rentals a zero waste business, I make a conscious effort to reuse, recycle or compost all mail satchels whenever possible. All of our mail satchels, shipping labels and even packing tapes are made of compostable materials that will biodegrade within 3-6 months. I do this in the hope that it would inspire my customers to think more about zero waste living, as well as to ensure I leave as little of a carbon footprint as possible while running a business. I hope Mama Rentals can become part of your cherished memory during this very special time in your life.

Made for bump shoots by the water 🤍✨

Our White Lotus Tulle Two Piece Set is one of those pieces that photographs so beautifully on a growing belly. Light, floaty and effortlessly romantic, it is perfect for maternity photoshoots where you want to really celebrate and accentuate your bump.

The off-shoulder ruffles, sheer flowing skirt and high split create the dreamiest beach photoshoot look, while still feeling soft, relaxed and comfortable to wear ✨

Perfect for maternity shoots, beach photoshoots, garden sessions, baby showers and special moments you’ll want to remember forever.

It also works beautifully for non-maternity too, but let’s be honest, it really is such a perfect bump shoot dress 🤍

Available for hire in One Size, fits AUS 6-16 🤍

Me the second winter starts feeling almost over... immediately reaching for florals 🌸

There’s just something about a floral dress in spring. Soft, romantic, easy to wear, and perfect for all the weddings, baby showers, maternity photoshoots and special events that suddenly start filling the calendar.

I love that so many of these work beautifully bump or no bump too, because spring dress season is not just for one stage of life 🤍

This dress is exactly why I will never get over cream lace 🤍

Our House of CB Belle Dress is one of those pieces that instantly makes a moment feel special. The off-shoulder neckline, floral lace, long sleeves and soft little train are just so romantic in photos.

I love this one for baby showers, maternity photoshoots, garden weddings, engagement photos and special events where you want something timeless but still a little bit wow.

The lace, sleeves and soft little train make it such a beautiful choice if you love that romantic cream lace look ✨

Fit note: this style runs very small, so please check the sizing carefully. We recommend sizing up, especially if pregnant.

Available to hire Australia-wide in sizes M, L and L+ 🤍

This is exactly why I love a non-traditional wedding dress 🤍

Our Reclamation Wonderment and Awe Gown looked so beautiful on this gorgeous bride. Soft, romantic and a little different from a traditional white gown, but still so special for your wedding day 💍

The relaxed, adjustable fit makes it a beautiful option for our plus-size ladies, and it works just as well during pregnancy or without a bump 🥰

Available to hire Australia-wide for brides, maternity photoshoots and other special moments, in one size, fits AUS 6-16 ✨

How sweet is this baby shower moment 🤍✨

Our Meshki Kiki Off Shoulder Knit Rose Maxi Dress is such a beautiful option when you want something soft, feminine and comfortable, but still special enough for the occasion.

I love this one for pregnancy because the knit fabric has stretch, the off-shoulder neckline feels so pretty, and the little flower appliqué details make it feel a bit more special without trying too hard.

Perfect for baby showers, maternity photoshoots, date nights and special events, but also just as lovely for non-maternity too.

A bump or no bump kind of dress 🤍

Available for hire in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL 👩🏼‍🍼🍼

A little try-on haul of our Jasmine Sequin Gown in Ch*****ne ✨

Because website photos only tell you so much, especially when you’re pregnant and trying to imagine how something will actually sit on your body.

This one is such a beautiful mix of soft sparkle and comfort. The waist tie frames the bump beautifully, but it still works just as well without one 🤍

Perfect for maternity photoshoots, baby showers, wedding guest moments, formal events and special occasions.

Available to hire Australia-wide in size L, fits AUS 12-16 🥰

This photo honestly feels like a little quiet moment you’d want to keep forever 🤍

Our Ophelia Maxi Dress in Bone is one of those easy, floaty pieces that just works so beautifully for motherhood, maternity and family photoshoots.

It has that soft Grecian feel, with the braided rope detail, deep V neckline, flowing cotton gauze and the prettiest off-white tone that photographs so beautifully outdoors.

I love this one because it feels special without being uncomfortable. It’s bump-friendly, breastfeeding-friendly and one-size-fits-most, so it can move with you through so many seasons, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond ✨

Perfect for maternity photoshoots, newborn photos, family photos, baby showers, elopements and soft motherhood sessions.

A little note: this dress is quite sheer, so n**e underwear and stick-on n**e bras are recommended underneath 🤍

Available for hire in One Size, fits AUS 6-22 🤍

Kinda chic to make dress hire feel a little less stressful 🤍

Because honestly, there are a few things that we really love:

Hiring for the body you have now.
Adding a backup dress when there’s no time for an exchange.
Planning your newborn shoot outfit before the newborn chaos hits.
Returning your dress on time so the next mama gets her moment too.
And yes, hiring your dress and TENS machine together so your event and birth bag are both sorted.

Just tiny things that make the whole experience feel easier.

Kinda chic, if you ask me.

This is exactly why I love seeing our dresses used for motherhood photoshoots 🤍

Not maternity, not newborn, just that beautiful in-between season of being mum, when the kids are running around, the dress is moving with you, and somehow the chaos becomes the magic.

Our Rooh Collective Birthday Gown in Sun Ombre is such a statement piece for photos like this. The colour has that warm, sun-kissed feel, and the way it moves on the beach is just so beautiful.

It’s perfect for motherhood photoshoots, family portraits, maternity photoshoots, weddings, black tie events and special occasions where you want something that feels a little extra ✨

Best suits AUS 10-14.

Available to hire Australia-wide.
