Finding the perfect dress for a special occassion can be a real challenge, especially if like most of us you’re on a tight budget. Well I have a brilliant (yes, I’m calling it brilliant) solution for that and it’s called Rent The Runway!
This easy to use website let’s you rent designer dresses from some of the biggest names in fashion–and we’re not talking lame wanna-be fashion brands–I’m talking serious designer clout like Giambattista Valli, Brian Reyes and Yigal Azrouel!
Here’s how it works: You log into their site through an invitation only link (click here for instant access), find a dress you LOVE (and trust me they have plenty to choose from), select your size and they ship it to you!
You only pay a fraction of the retail price to “rent” the dress, for example…Herve Leger for $100 and Halston for $50 because you’re not actually purchasing the dress! Then all you have to do is look gorgeous on the night of your big event!
The dresses come to you doorstep in a box, hung in a garment bag and they also include a pre-paid shipping label so that you can send back the dress at not charge to you–think of it like Netflix for designer dresses!
I just did a segment about this for The 10! Show and I honestly couldn’t have been more impressed with the dresses, the service and the entire process. This may just change the way all women “shop” for special events! Click here to watch the segment!

Thanks so much for doing what your do. You’re really great at it!!!

Not just your necklace–the whole outfit you have on is so cute! I know it’s simple, but where did you get it all? Love it, love the idea of renting your prom dress, and love, love, love your website!!!
I am renting my 1st dress on RTR for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards…I am renting the Tibi Cap Sleeve dress…hope it is a winner, thanks!
