When I applied to be a part of this pit this year, I had no idea what I was going to wear. Last year, I went with a trusted red sequined dress that's fabulous. This year, though, I was stumped. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a new dress nor are there many places to buy fancy dresses in Huntington. I decided to try something different this year, Rent The Runway.
Several of the celebrities I follow on Instagram have posted pictures wearing dresses from the site but I hadn't actually met anyone who had used them. I was a little nervous but read through their website and decided I would try a cheaper dress and take a back-up with me to LA. After days of deliberation and asking people's advice, I ordered Yigal Azrouel's Ian se Beijing dress. The dress retails for upwards of $1,200 but I got it for a total of $60!I had a great first experience with Rent The Runway. I went ahead and added in the second size for free just in case. My dress arrived on time in a cute box. I got to keep the fabulous garment bag the dresses came in as well as the hangers with the company's logo. The return process was super easy! A pre-paid UPS envelope came with the dresses so all I had to do was put them in that and drop it off. The hardest part was finding a UPS in LA, but we did!
My only complaint is that I had to pay almost $20 in shipping, taxes and insurance! The dress was only $40 but then tack on all the extra fees... :( Oh well, I had a great experience and LOVED LOVED LOVED the dress. I can't wait to use the company again. If you're interested in using them, let me know and I can give you a code, that way we both get credit!
