Netflicks for Couture?

Do you wish you could afford $2000 haute couture dresses? Rent the Runway allows fashionistas to rent designer dresses for just $50 to $200 for a four day period.

How it works: It is almost as easy as netflicks. You have the ability to browse through the selection of couture dresses on their website and once you have found the one you would like to rent you pay the fee and it is shipped directly to your doorstep. You are allowed to keep the dress for up to four days. After use you just put it back into the garment bag that it came in and ship it back. Dry cleaning fees are included!

I personally think this is such a great idea! It gives women who are on a budget the ability to wear haute couture at a low price. How many times have you splurged on a dress and were only able to wear it a couple times.






Above are some pictures of celebrities in some of the dresses that are available on Rent the Runways!
