Wedding planning season is in full gear, and the bridesmaids of the world are starting to tally up how much the honor of standing up for their bride-to-be BFF is going to cost. To ease the financial burden, a New York start-up called Little Borrowed Dress is bringing a trunk show to San Francisco, offering up dresses for rent starting at $50.

Little Borrowed Dress tells us all of the dresses are manufactured in the Garment District in NYC. Try on the dresses, nosh on sweets and sip champagne, plus check out and handful of other wedding vendors from 10am to 5pm on Sunday January 19 at the Argonaut Hotel.
