Another note about Rent the Runway

I just received this email from them

Dear Sarah,

Welcome to Rent the Runway! We’re so thrilled you’ve decided to become a part of our community and we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this revolutionary way of getting the dresses you’ve always craved.

Remember, we’re constantly adding new looks and new labels, and our online stylists are always at the ready to make your Rent the Runway experience as rewarding as possible. Rentals start at just $50, and every time you rent from a new designer, you can select a free second size to ensure the perfect fit. Even better, you can reserve weeks (even months) in advance for a special occasion or shop on an impulse with our next day and same day delivery options.

Enjoy dressing up,
Rent the Runway

This is so smart. My only reservation for trying this would be that I would be afraid the dress wouldn’t fit. But now I can have them send me 2 sizes for the same price, and get this…if neither fit, if i return them both in less than 24 hours, I get a full refund.

Rent the Runway is a sister company of ours. They’re funded by an excellent partner at Bain Capital Ventures. I had the pleasure of meeting the founders at Bain’s recent CEO Summit. They’re great folks. I’m excited about this business.
