These businesses are defined as rental shops that offer special occasion clothing to customers for a fee and require that customers return the rented attire by a specified time. They may rent out formal wear, such as tuxedos and gowns, or costumes for parties, Halloween or theatrical performances. These shops may also offer accessories and props for rent.

General Liability Insurance for Formal Wear Shops – Customers are subject to injury on the grounds of Formal Wear Rental Shops if it is not properly maintained. Shops should have adequate lighting, security and well-marked exits and be free from debris and unsafe flooring. Clothing racks, displays, and mannequins should be adequately spaced and well secured in order to prevent toppling merchandise and displays. Clothing rented out by these shops could potentially pose a risk as well if the materials cause harm to customers.
