You'll be lucky to find a place that will do it with 2 days notice.

I went in last month as I have a wedding to go to this weekend and I'm picking it up tomorrow.

As long as it's not a busy weekend you might be ok, though you won't get a lot of choice with 2 days to go.

Aye, I'm certainly well aware of the time issue. If I can't get one then suit it is, but I at least want to make the effort to try... hopefully it won't be too busy!

Try womens clothing shops they sometimes have the cheapest versions

They may be called skirts and rightly so

From what I gather Slaters may be able to sort you out at short notice, but it's best you give them a call first to check.
I think it's about £78 to hire if you're not a student (although I'm sure I was around £45 to hire the full shibang last year, albeit with 20% student discount).
