You can ALWAYS borrow a dress from one of your friend’s but- i find a few things usually go wrong with that choice- 1. she has probably worn it before and therefore most of you inner circle has seen it 2. having a friend who has the EXACT same body type as you is like finding a boy who is EXACTLY how you imagined prince charming to be-therefore more than likely it will not fit nor look near as cute on you as it looked on your friend and lastly 3. i have learned the dry cleaners DO NOT get every type of stain out-yikes!!)
SO whats the next best option you ask? RENT THE RUNWAY!! while i was watching my daily dose of hoda and kathy lee i was introduced to this amazing website by them! Basically the name says exactly what it is!! sooo here we gooo....
1. become a member of the website (its free but sometimes u have a wait a little while for them to accept you-but definitely worth the wait!!)
2. once you become a member you can log in and browse their AMAZING selection of dresses (they have EVERY INCREDIBLE designer you could possibly think of- catherine malandrino-herve leger-nicole miller-dvf-yada yada yada...)
3. Next just select the type of dress that best suits your occasion and GET THIS- you rent it for nearly 75% of the original cost!!
4. Lastly they will ship you the dress AND a second size (incase you miscalculated some of your measurements-wink wink)
5. FINALLY- you get the dress-wear it to the party- look like the queen of the ball in a fabulous designer dress-then ship it back-simple enough right??
