You may like to read another blog post about style: What To Wear For Effortless Cool. The ease of ordering and return, the helpful customers reviews, the money saved and the novelty of wearing a new dress to each formal occasion will make me a repeat customer. Rent the Runway was a positive experience. My dress – Erin Featherstone/ Rent the Runway | my daughter’s dress – Alice & Olivia It could not have been easier.įorget me – look at my gorgeous daughter! The next day I zipped the dress into the garment bag, applied the return shipping label and dropped it off at the UPS store. Everyone loved the dress and no one at the formal wore anything like it. Thanks to the great reviews, I knew that the zipper was tricky – otherwise I would have freaked out. Before the pandemic, the company reached unicorn status as a private company with a 1 billion valuation. The dress fit well and my shoes matched perfectly. However, Rent the Runway’s stock still has a long way to go. On the scheduled day the dress arrived at the hotel it was packaged in a clever envelope/garment bag and wasn’t wrinkled at all. And if the dress didn’t fit, I could call and get another dress sent overnight for a small fee. I called customer service and they assured me that I could have the dress sent to the hotel in care of my name. You’re browsing for the perfect dress The One, really for your special event, when you happen upon Rent the Runway. I did have a dilemma Rent the Runway dresses are sent to arrive 2 days before your event, but I was going to be at a conference.
I didn’t have jewelry to match the dress and didn’t want to buy anything, so I rented the jewelry as well. And for those who are indecisive you can order a second style for $32.50. You can also order a back-up size of the same dress for free. “this is not a dress for large breasts” or “very forgiving in the belly area”). I thrilled to see it on Rent the Runway and despite all the choices available, that was the dress for me.Ĭhoosing the correct size is always tricky while shopping online, but I found the reviews by former customers really helpful people are very descriptive about their measurements and how the dress fit on their body (i.e. It was not my size so I didn’t purchase it then, but I loved it. I looked at many dresses and created a favorites list of a few, but earlier in the week I had seen the same Erin Featherstone dress at Anthropologie. Rent the Runway was indeed overwhelming, but browsing for a bit let me see what designers I liked and then I was able to have more focus. I hate returning items to the store and the post office is my least favorite place in the entire world. I want to share my experience for all you skeptics like me.įirst of all, know that I don’t like to shop online I find the abundance of selections overwhelming, I like to touch and feel clothes and most definitely I like to try them on. I had heard good things about the experience, but still I was skeptical. So this time when I had a formal event to attend (with yes, the same people), instead of buying a dress I decided to try Rent the Runway. Rent the Runway is the premier subscription fashion service that powers people to rent designer styles for work, weekends and events. Often when I would try to rent an item, it would turn out other shoppers in my size already reserved it, leaving me to settle for items on my B-list.I have attended two formal events over the last two years and each time I bought a new dress for the occasion (the same people were at both events, so I couldn’t wear the same dress, now could I?). Plus, I had trouble finding things in my size. I tried Unlimited briefly, but honestly, it was a cost I couldn’t reconcile with my budget. In 2016, the brand launched its Unlimited subscription, where you can get endless rentals for $159 a month, as a way of breaking into the everyday and workwear space. RTR isn’t anything new the company has been around for years providing designer wedding guest dresses, vacation pieces, and ball gowns at a per-piece rental fee.

Maxx or Marshalls clearance score, I’ve got a different one-liner: “Oh, you like this? It’s rented.”Īt least twice a week, my outfit is partially care of my Rent the Runway Update subscription. But lately, instead of telling people about my amazing T.J. What can I say? I love a good deal, and I have no qualms sharing my money-saving ways. I’m that person who cheerfully explains that my dress was 20 percent off after every compliment.
