For those of you who are unaware of
Rent The Runway (RTR), the fashion/shopping site offers access to your dream wardrobe for all of life's special occasions, by bringing fashionistas glamorous dresses and luxurious accessories. You can browse from over 100 of the hottest designer brands for your next wedding, black-tie benefit, birthday, or night out, at a fraction of the cost.
Founded by co-founders Jennifer Hyman (Jenn) and Jennifer Fleiss (Jenny), who met as section-mates at Harvard Business School, the idea of RTR is to buy or rent apparel and/or accessories by reserving the merchandise online (select a rental start date 1-2 days before an event). Returns to RTR are free, and if the dress doesn't fit then you don't have to pay (they issue a full-merchandise credit, less the cost of shipping). Also, whatever merchandise you love (heart), you can save online to your RTR account for future reference. Plus, end of season they usually have a major blowout sale where you can buy designer dresses and accessories for a definite steal (in comparison to the original price of the merchandise)!
