Rent Designer Dresses Online With Rent The Runway
For the fashionistas who love high fashion but have to watch their wallets, you’re in luck. A new fashion site called Rent The Runway lets you rent a designer frock for only a fraction of the original retail price.
If you’re coveting this season’s Diane von Furstenburg or Catherine Malandrino, you can easily rent a dress that usually sells for $600-$1,200 for only $50-$200. The site carries current designs, so you can literally rent clothes that just graced the fashion runways. If you’ve never worn a piece by Proenza Schouler or Herve Leger, here’s your chance.
The rental price lets you keep the gown for 4-8 days, depending on when you want to wear it. The company even includes a fit kit filled with double-sided tape and deodorant wipes to ensure a perfect night out.
This is seriously a no-brainer. It’s as easy as renting a Netflix DVD. For fashion emergencies, the site offers next-day delivery (same-day delivery for those in NYC).
For those who aren’t completely sure about their fitting size, you get the gown sent to you in two sizes. And, if you’re debating about which design looks better, you can also rent a different dress style for an additional $25.
After you’re done wearing the dress, you just ship it back in a pre-stamped envelope. The rental price includes organic dry cleaning services, so you don’t need to worry about returning it in a pristine condition. It’s really that easy — all the shopping fun combined with the convenience and privacy of your own home.
