There are several factors fueling this surge in prom dress rental prices. Supply chain disruptions, increased labor costs, and new tariffs on imported textiles have driven operational expenses higher. In addition, rental companies are investing more in digital platforms and logistics infrastructure to meet demand, costs which are being passed on to the consumer.
Furthermore, the rising popularity of 80s prom dress rental and vintage fashion has put additional pressure on inventory availability, allowing companies to mark up prices for high-demand pieces. According to Market Report Analytics [https://www.marketreportanalytics.com/reports/short-prom-dresses-48960], consumer interest in unique and nostalgic styles has grown significantly, particularly among Gen Z shoppers.
