    Has any1 here tried rent a runway? I heard/read about it in the news and wondering if anyone here has tried it. Apparantly, it's popular enough that there's a waitlist to become a member.

    Tangentially related, has/is anyone here renting her wedding dress? I did but it was because it is standard procedure in the country where I'm from and I go back there often enough. So my dad went and picked up the dress and returned the dress for me. I loved the rental dress and the whole experience with it. When I searched online for bridal dress rental options in the US, options were few and far between. It's a curious phenomenon and am just wondering if anyone in US or other countries that have experience with this.

    I signed up for it just to see what it was all about, unfortunately they don't really have anything over the size of 4.... So it was a bust for me.

    I wish there were more options to rent wedding dresses.  We bought ours, and are having a lot of trouble selling them.

    Unfortunately, almost all wedding dresses in this country are strapless, which means they have to fit quite precisely, which means they have to be altered.  That makes it tough to do them as rentals.

    That's a cool concept for that RTR site. Kinda like Bag, Borrow, Steal. Cool, but still probably too expensive for my taste. If someone can market and run a wedding dress rental company like this successfully, they'll be rolling in dough!
