Types of Dresses: Most rental services offer "flying dresses"—long, flowing gowns designed to billow dramatically in the wind, perfect for photos. Colors like red, white, and pastel shades are popular, complementing Cappadocia’s earthy tones and vibrant balloon-filled skies. Styles vary from modern satin designs to traditional Turkish-inspired looks.
- The Dress:
- Access to a "flying dress" or other style of your choice from the provider’s collection.
- Usually cleaned and ready to wear, though you’re expected to return it in good condition (minor wear is fine, but damage might incur a fee).
- Rental Duration:
- A set time frame, often 2-4 hours for a basic rental, though some offer full-day options. This is enough for a sunrise or sunset photo session.
- Fitting/Selection:
- Time to try on the dress at the shop or a quick fitting if delivered to your hotel. Some places let you pick from a range of sizes and colors on the spot.
- Basic Assistance:
- Staff might help you put on the dress or adjust it for photos (e.g., fanning it out for that "flying" effect), though this depends on the service.
- Delivery or Pickup (Sometimes):
- If you’re not visiting the shop, some rentals include drop-off and pickup at your hotel, especially in Göreme or nearby areas. Confirm this beforehand, as it’s not always standard.
Photography:
- Most rentals are dress-only. Professional photographers or photo shoot packages are typically separate, costing $50-$150+ depending on the duration and deliverables (e.g., 10-20 edited photos).
Accessories:
- Items like headscarves, jewelry, or shoes are rarely included unless specified. You’ll usually need to bring your own or rent them separately.
Transport:
- Getting to photo locations (e.g., Love Valley or balloon viewpoints) isn’t usually covered. You’ll need to arrange your own ride or book a tour that includes it.
Styling Services:
- Hair, makeup, or advanced dress styling (e.g., pinning it for a specific look) might be offered as an add-on for $20-$50 extra.
Extended Time:
- If you want the dress beyond the standard slot (e.g., for multiple shoots), you’ll likely pay an additional fee per hour or day.
