Ever needed a piece of formal wear for a one-time event and needed it fast? So recently a good girlfriend of mine hustled up some tickets to a black tie event and the only piece of formal wear I had was an old yet stylish bridesmaid dress from 11 years ago that I had outgrown long ago. Basically, I was out of time and out options or so I thought until this same friend told me about Rent the Runway (RTR). Intrigued, I went to the Georgetown store located in my adopted city of Washington DC and rented the cutest Badgley Mischka dress. RTR is a great option when in need of last minute formal wear. The sizes run from zero to 22 with many options to choose from today’s top designers at reasonable prices. RTR also boasts a nice selection of jumpsuits, blouses, shoes and accessories. Best of all, I was able to return the dress free of charge using the prepaid shipping label provided by RTR via any UPS drop off. Now for those who do not have a store near you, RTR is online so the garment can be shipped directly to your address. So the next time you’re on the search for the perfect party dress, consider Rent the Runway.
