Am I the only one who JUST discovered this website?!? It is my new obsession. I want to order so many dresses!!! I just placed my first order, for my bridal shower this weekend.


Has anyone else used this already?? What do you think of the quality, the process, etc?

[akraus2015]

Also, how do I resize a photo?? It was normal sized on mobile but HUGE on the computer. Sorry guys!!

Somebody was just using this website about a week ago to find a dress. I can't remember it might have been risscaboobs maybe?

[britts22]

Ahh I love it!! I think the process is super quick and easy. I wish I had all the money to rent dresses all the time.

It was joy!

Damn. That was my next guess.

I've heard of it, but haven't tried it. Would like to hear about your experience when all is said and done!

Also, that dress is beautiful!

In the code where it says img src=url, between the img and src add width="444" or whatever number.

Worked, thank you!  I will never remember that for next time.

I got my dress for my bridal shower from RTR and I absolutely loved it! Everything I have ever ordered from there has come on time and the dresses are always in good condition. I would definitely recommend using it.

[achromia]

I LOVE RTR. I have gotten... at least three dresses so far. Maybe four. I really can't say enough good things about the service.

The dresses always arrive on time, in good shape, and I have never had one not fit. The first time I got one they somehow didn't have my backup size available, so they sent a similar dress that was fantastic. The process to return them is also super easy.

Also, if you think you will rent enough dresses to make it worth your while I recommend getting a pro account. Free shipping on all your rentals for a year, and you get a $50 credit toward a rental for your birthday. Can I AW my birthday dress for a minute? We went and did a photo shoot because, hey, nearly-free gorgeous dress!

Love, love, love the red dress!!  

[teraiin]

This is making me wish I had fancy events that would require me to wear a dress...

That red dress is beautiful!

[renbee]

I have only rented jewelry so far, but it went well. I'm nervous to rent a dress because I am pretty picky and don't fit very well in designer sizing.

[getzystark]

I haz no fancy events to attend

[helloerrbody]

I've never used it, but one of my best friends used it this past weekend for 2 dresses - one for her bridal shower and another for her bachelorette night out. She also got jewelry. Everything was beautiful, fit well, and she was very pleased.

[treble]

I just used RTR about 3-4 months ago and the ladies "here" (we were on TD at the time) helped me pick the dress. I loved the process.

[moutonrouge]

I liked my experience with them. The reviews were really helpful in choosing a size. I got a mystery item, which turned out to be a bangle I really loved that definitely made the look. They also sent some samples which introduced me to my new favorite deodorant, lol.

[peanutmuse]

I've gotten 2 dresses from RTR. Love it. I wish I had discovered it sooner.

Ditto this. We have DH's holiday party at work every winter, but most of the people wear "business casual".  

This site reminds me of a store near me that used to rent designer wedding dresses.  My cousin used them and got an awesome one.

[joy]

I haven't rented yet but I'm glad so many people had good experiences!

[daisy818]

I joined RTR back in November 2009 (actually, the month it launched - I had a friend at HBS who was friends with the creators so she sent me an invite) - I've rented probably over a dozen times - they are AWESOME. I was wearing a RTR Badgley Mischka on the night I met my now husband I actually rented one two weeks ago that didn't fit, and they overnighted me the next size up. Otherwise, if they don't fit you can get a store credit for what you paid. It's crazy how far it has come over the years!

[argomania]

Wish they would ship to Canada. I don't do dresses. Due to my disability my feet and ankles are always swollen so I can't wear pretty shoes.

My BIL is getting married this summer and I found a pair of cowgirl ankle boots that fit perfectly and cover up my ankles. lol SO now I want to wear a dress to the wedding. Can't find what I'm looking for. Or I can't justify the cost. A rental would be awesome.

[cmac827]

Their customer service is awesome. They had an issue with a dress I had ordered. They called me and offered another dress in addition (any price) to the one I had ordered plus accessories for no additional charge. I used them for a military ball and my bachelorette party.

I like RTR - but once there was a dress on there that I wanted to rent and the RTR price was about $150. I found the dress, used, on eBay for $200 and bought it instead. So now I always double-check eBay to make sure the dress isn't available for a similar price to actually buy.

I love RTR too! I did pro last year for my wedding because I knew I would have many events. I saved so much money on shipping and insurance that year.
Jewelry and bags are so fun and high quality.

Similar thing happened to me as @emilie818,. I really wanted to rent a certain dress but it was out of stock for the event weekend, checked eBay and I was able to buy my size for less than the rental cost. And it was NWT.

F U Rent the Runway. I have a bridal shower at 11am tomorrow and my dress didn't show up. I literally have nothing to wear tomorrow. It's March and all my dresses are sleeveless. It's 20 degrees here.
