Houston fashionistas have a new option for making a statement at that special occasion. New for the Night is the bricks-and-mortar counterpart to the website by the same name that allows women to rent designer clothes for the night, weekend and beyond.

The idea is simple. Why buy a dress or outfit that you may only wear once or twice? Brittany Sakowitz's New for the Night allows gives you all the flair at a fraction of the cost of purchase. From gowns for a gala to a rockin' look for a Western event, this shop has it all. Choose from designers such as Shoshanna, Rebecca Minkoff and Jay Godfrey.

Whether you shop online or in store, three-day rentals range from $50 to $100 and can be extended for about $10 a day. When it's time to return the look, just drop it in the mail inside the prepaid envelope.

The showroom is open Monday through Saturday but appointments are recommended to ensure a stylist is available.
