Im looking for a gown gemach for a kallah, getting married in about 6 weeks. ehrenfelds is NEVER open-once a week for 2 hours which is a funny joke.
is there anywhere else to go that has beautiful selection?

It may sound like a joke but I went 2 weeks before my wedding and found my dream dress there (I had a backup, I wasn't desperate). Keep trying. There are other rentals but that one is a true gemach.

a kalla I know went during non covid, didnt find anything in BP Gmachs (was not a unique size or anything), found something in williamsburgh, took it to a dressmaker, needed some alterations and a metal weight (you hear it right) to pull waist line to look good.
Putting on gowns is heavy, warm, not comfortable.
add to this metal weights
here goes your dream of a ligh floaty kalla.
Ended up in a shop (not a gmach ) in Flatbush. Rental was around $2000-2500 IIRC
Alterations and cleaning included
5 start service. 2 fittings.
So if you are abel to afford and looking for an easy experience, here it is!
and if its in a backyard - maybe no need for a fancy rental?
