You look at your calendar, and lo and behold, that event you’d sworn you had plenty of time to buy a dress for has come up sooner than expected.
Sure, you could spend all day – or potentially, a week – searching for that perfect dress. Or, you could simply borrow one.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to try to find a girlfriend with your style who is also your size. You can just borrow from the seemingly endless closet that online designer rental service Rent the Runway has to offer.
Ever since my first moment of panic following a work request to attend a gala, I’ve been a Rent the Runway convert.
The premise is simple: Flip through hundreds of designer threads to find the perfect piece for that upcoming wedding/ gala/date night/whatever. Then, select two sizes based on measured proportions for fit and customer reviews on the garment’s overall wearability.
