Two Harvard graduates have launched a new site called Rent The Runway which allows people to browse their collection of dresses from Diane Von Furstenberg, Hervé Léger and Proenza Schouler for $50 – $200 for four nights. You don’t need to dry clean the dress just put it in an garment bag and mail it back, once the company gets it and the dress isn’t damaged you’re fine – if it is you’re responsible for the entire cost of the dress…ouch!
We remember when website Bag Borrow Or Steal launched with the same concept for handbags. Would you rent your next handbag or ballroom gown???

http://www.WearTodayGoneTomorrow.com has been providing this exact service for close to a year! They loan all of the same (and more than 125 other) top designers weekly at a mere 5 – 10% of retail values. Think $500 dress for either $25 or $50! They ship nationally, and items arrive within 2 – 3 days. They measure all clothing, and everything is guaranteed to fit, or you can get your money back! They’ve been featured in InStyle, Teen Vogue, People, The Today Show and many more… They’re amazing!
