About Vlach Hire
Sydney dress hire built on one idea — you should be able to wear something incredible without it living in your wardrobe forever.
One formal dress. The start of something special.
I'm Vanessa Vlach, and I started Vlach Hire when I was just 17. It all began with my Year 12 formal dress, my first "big girl" purchase and a piece I was so excited to wear.
Everyone loved it so much that they started asking to borrow or hire it from me. I loved sharing something that made me feel special, and I thought, why not turn this into a business?
That one dress became a wardrobe of beautiful pieces, chosen to make getting dressed for your next event just as exciting.
A Love for Dresses, A Passion for Beauty
Dresses have always been Vanessa's first love — it's the whole reason Vlach Hire exists. But beauty is just as close to her heart: she's also the founder of Vlach Beauty, a lash and brow salon in Canterbury, Sydney. Vlach Hire operates right inside the salon, bringing dresses and beauty together under one roof.
