I was directed to this genius website yesterday…. http://www.renttherunway.com. Rent the Runway gives users access to high fashion affordable and convenient. It seems super easy, just browse their website until you find something you love. Put it in your basket, tell them when you’d like it delivered, and it’ll appear on your doorstep—in two different sizes, just to be safe. Simple, right? After your event just repack it in a pre-paid packaging and just drop it in a mailbox. I am definitely going to give it a try for my next event!
