Rent the Runway

edit

Rent the Runway is a site which allows you to rent a dress for the night.

They buy pieces directly from top designers and then offer rentals at just 10% of retail prices.

Users add it to their basket, tell them when you’d like it delivered, and it’ll appear on your doorstep.

After the date, or wedding, or cocktail party, is over, just repack it in handy, pre-paid packaging and just drop it in a mailbox. They will take care of the dry cleaning.
