Rent the Runway was a success!
A few months ago I was asking about using Rent the Runway for what H calls "gala season" in our city. Some of the posters on this board said it worked great for them, so I decided to give it a try because we see the same group at all of these things. I just don't have the time to shop for multiple dresses, and frankly, I also don't want to spend the money or dedicate the closet space for it.
My first dress arrived last night for a black tie event tomorrow. I ended up paying $60 for a floor length red dress than retails for nearly $800 plus a statement necklace to go along with it. They send you a free back-up size in case the size you ordered didn't fit, and the whole thing comes in this really fancy fabric bag with a return shipping label included. I was so impressed with the packaging I actually took a picture and emailed it to my mom.
The dresses were in perfect condition, and the back-up size fit great! I just reserved another dress for a wedding in a few weeks where H is best man and we will have 3 wedding events to attend in the same weekend (and thus 3 different outfits for me).
I also got a pro membership for $30 because that provides a year of free shipping and insurance, and they also give you a $50 birthday credit for a rental. My birthday is late October, so I'll use that credit to rent a dress for H's office Christmas party or else New Year's Eve.
Bonus points: RTR is also on ebates, so you can get some cash back for rentals.
Y'all, I'm a convert. This is awesome.
THANK YOU to everybody who told me to give it a try!
