Boy asks girl out. Girl has nothing to wear, so nifty rodent pals help conjure something up.

If your mice don’t sing and sew, however, you need Girl Meets Dress.

The recession-friendly service allows you to rent a new season’s frock from £31 a day. Same-day London deliveries will soon be on offer; in the meantime allow up to three days by post to anywhere in the UK.

Hire casual and evening styles in a variety of sizes by the likes of Fendi, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tibi and 3.1 Philip Lim; some are also for sale. The selection is updated weekly, but if you’re looking for something in particular, drop them an e-mail and they’ll try to track it down.

Prepare for an elegant send-off.

These mice are seriously on the ball.
