I think you can start and stop when you want. And I'll definitely look into satisfaction with returns/sizing, etc.&nbsp;<b></p> <p></b>I had never liked the idea of RTR in the past, but I'll let y'all know if I decide and what it's like.&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305873 Wed, 01 Feb 2023 11:30:32 +0000 kkards 2305873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interested in hearing your experience if/when you try it<br />I had looked at Rent the Runway a number of years ago, and I just could not make the financial piece make sense, but I don’t remember being able to start and stop the monthly rental at will. &nbsp;Will need to re look, as I think if you can choice the months and not have to pay every month it might make more sense. one thing that I do remember, and would need to research again, was a fair amount of complaints around not getting credited properly for returns, and/or returns getting “lost’. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305834 Wed, 01 Feb 2023 04:22:37 +0000 Barbara Diane 2305834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m too challenging to fit to use this service but I know someone who regularly uses it. She looked very glamorous at a wedding we both attended. And she was getting a significant portion of her regular wardrobe from there also.</p> <p>I probably read it here on YLF but someone mentioned renting a dress well before an event to try it on, then again for the actual event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305663 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 14:49:38 +0000 cat2 2305663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can seldom wear a garment off the rack; I spend a lot on hemming and taking in waists. So I have never tried RRR. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305572 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 03:33:42 +0000 Dana 2305572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SuzieQ2 I just checked Amazon. I’m not sure I’d want to pay to own something so many people had worn, but the idea of sustainability is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305568 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 03:24:51 +0000 Dana 2305568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, definitely not my whole wardrobe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305563 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 02:58:58 +0000 Janet 2305563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve never had much desire to rent clothing. I’m pretty picky about used items, and I guess that applies to rental as well. I think it’s a brilliant solution for people who like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305558 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 02:18:24 +0000 Dana 2305558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, that’s interesting you found jeans at a low price! Makes sense. </p> <p>I’d worry about fit if I were looking for something special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305556 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:56:52 +0000 SuzyQ2 2305556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Literally just found this yesterday, Amazon has a rent the runway section, pre-loved clothing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305542 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:32:46 +0000 Anonymous 2305542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could see doing it if I went to some fundraising gala or had to do a really important presentation, but not for daily use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305541 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:30:22 +0000 Jaime 2305541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have actually bought a pair of jeans I was stalking for a very low price there - will not receive them for another week or so. Like Angie I don't think I would enjoy a rented wardrobe but if I lived in the States I could imagine renting a few things that I wanted to put through their paces before making a commitment. And definitely would rent for an exceptional occasion if it were a one off. My wedding dress was rented. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305538 Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:20:42 +0000 Tanya 2305538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never tried them, but following this with interest.&nbsp; I can imagine this could be a good solution for rare occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305508 Mon, 30 Jan 2023 23:51:15 +0000 Dana 2305508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a DVF wrap dress that I think I’m going to try for a luncheon—like a sweater dress. And then possibly something sexy for Valentines Day! </p> <p>I saw pics of a blazer that looked a little worn. But then the same blazer in a different size that was pristine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305437 Mon, 30 Jan 2023 19:15:04 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2305437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried it once, but they didn’t have all the nicest pieces in stock, and you could definitely see that the items were worn. even if they were clean</p> <p>I’ve noticed that some brands do rental programs to Vinson Ralph Lauren ones that I’ve noticed</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305420 Mon, 30 Jan 2023 17:42:13 +0000 April 2305420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A rented wardrobe sounds sort of amazing, actually.&nbsp; I thought Rent the Runway was just for gowns and such.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Zero experience with RTR but it has been recommended to me by several people.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305419 Mon, 30 Jan 2023 17:39:07 +0000 Angie 2305419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't, <b>Dana!</b> Personally, I have zero interest in renting wardrobe items.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a 33 year old friend and a 55 year old friend who rent 90% of their wardrobes! They love it :)</p> <p>I have several clients who dabble with it from time to time. Just for fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-you-tried#post-2305406 Mon, 30 Jan 2023 16:14:54 +0000 Dana 2305406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone tried Rent the Runway? I met a woman the other day who told me she loves it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been looking over the site, and there are lots of CUTE things! Things I definitely couldn't afford to buy.&nbsp;</p> <p>They used to mostly be formalwear and that's what the reviews were on, but now there are reviews for all category which really help with fit. I'm just thinking about some everyday clothes and things for luncheons on occasion.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I could go to say Nordstrom and figure out how some of the brands fit me first...</p> <p>I can't imagine using it every month, but on occasion, and it says you can pause your membership whenever you want.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd love to hear your experiences.&nbsp; </p>
