We’ve all heard of Bag, Borrow or Steal – “Netflix for purses” as Jennifer Hudson’s character famously described it in the Sex and the City Movie. Well this is a similar concept for renting a posh frock. Girl Meets Dress is the perfect way to wear your favourite designer dress to that all important party, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from around £30 and increase depending upon the dress and how long you want to keep it for. For example, the bronze frill sleeve dress by See by Chloe would cost you £53 for 2 nights and £76 for 7 nights. Loans are available for 2, 5 or 7 nights and are renewable for a further payment.
Sadly the service is only available in limited sizes – 8 to 14 – and some styles are only available in selected sizes, but in these credit crunching – sorry, recession – times, it could be the perfect way to enable you to wear a designer frock for that special occasion. They promise new to the site arrivals every Tuesday.
Shipping is steep at £9.95 but this covers delivery (within a specified two hour timeslot) and return, and all packages must be signed for due to the high value of the goods.
I'm just not convinced about these rental things being good value. Surely you could put that money aside and eventually buy your own bag/dress/whatever that you would know you really liked and wanted.
ReplyDeleteHmm, interesting idea, shame about the limited sizes! Will need to have a good browse :)
