My Review – Rent the Runway Unlimited

Doesn’t every girl dream of never running out of things to wear? How about always having the most perfect dress for a wedding, bridal shower, or event? What about being able to wear the item, and never worry about cleaning it?! If all of this sounds like you, then read on – I want to talk to you about Rent The Runway Unlimited..

 

Traditional Rent the Runway

I heard about Rent the Runway years ago. I was getting ready to attend my first ever wedding with my (now) husband and I wanted to look my best! Equipped with a birthday coupon (which, rent the runway still give out!!), I placed my order for a Nicole Miller Dress. I had a 4 day rental, they sent me a back up size, and I just had to worry about mailing it back! Talk about an amazing service! My total fee was around $40 or so, but I didn’t mind because I wore a designer dress!

Rent the Runway Unlimited

Cue the newest form of Rent the Runway, in Rent the Runway Unlimited! This service, for $159/month (hear me out before you balk at the cost – I am going to break it down, plus give you amazing tips to get the most bang for your buck! AND A COUPON CODE), Rent the Runway unlimited allows you to have four pieces out at a time, and unlimited picks per month. Did I mention that items are designer? Plus, they have an easy to use app where you can place and track your orders! Designers include anywhere from Marchesa to J Crew – and all items, including accessories, are included in Unlimited!

My Trial:

I collaborated with Rent the Runway for an unlimited trial. This post, however, is not sponsored and 100% my own opinions. As soon as my trial started, I set up my profile – includes my height, weight, and sizes. This information is then used to filter what is available for your shipment. I ordered two dresses for a wedding, a Marc Jacobs handbag, and a causal dress by Saylor. Here are the items I received from my first shipment:

rent the runway shipment one

Everything fit perfectly, and I actually had a tough time deciding what to wear for the wedding. I was between the red and lilac dress, but ended up going for the lilac one since it was an outdoor summer affair.

The Monday after the wedding, I sent back the two dresses and handbag, and opted to hang on to the yellow dress for another time. It was the perfect everyday dress. In my next shipment, I received my next round of items for ANOTHER wedding I had coming up. It took 4 total days to receive my next round (2 days to ship back, 2 days to receive the next package). This time, I had ordered two dresses for the rehearsal dinner and a two dresses for the actual wedding. What I couldn’t believe is that I actually got my hands on a Marchesa dress. I cannot tell you how amazing that dress made me feel – and so many compliments!

I made sure to send everything back that Monday after, and I picked some new items for my trip to New York City. What was awesome about my last shipment, is that I had the opportunity to visit the flagship store to pick up my items. If you live in the major cities, you can get SAME DAY order and delivery which I was thrilled about. I didn’t have to worry about packing too much because I was picking up my weekend looks a the store to rent.
In all, I was able to get three shipments out of my 1 month trial period; I could have planned it a tad bit better to squeeze out four shipments but the weddings were on weekends and I forgot to send back the items on Sundays!

How to get the most bang for your buck

  1. Set up your profile so you are ONLY browsing those items that are available for shipment. Don’t waste you time looking at items you can’t rent because they aren’t available!
  2.  Be On it – you have to track your items so that you know the second they are reieved, if you place an order before 2 PM, they are shipped same day. This is key so you don’t waste any downtime!
  3. Break up the shipment – don’t feel like you have to keep all four items at the same time. Send back one item if you don’t like it; don’t wait to wear the rest
  4. Stay away from non-flexible sizing – If you are trying to get the most our of your subscription, don’t rent items that sizing can be tricky on. For example, being taller, I have a huge issue with rompers being too short. I made the mistake of ordering one with NO stretch and I couldn’t end up wearing it. Same thing with non-forgiving fabric – if it isn’t going to fit, you wasted your time with it.
  5. Plan – if you know you are going on three trips + have three weddings in the span of 2 months, take advantage and do a 2 month subscription! Its so fun having new clothes to wear on vacation, plus you would probably be purchasing a new dress anyways to wear to a wedding!
Overall, I was able to get three shipments, and my total retail price of the clothing I wore was $3000. That is basically what I spend in an year on clothing!!! As someone who usually only shops fast fashion, the quality of the items I wore is incomparable to most things I wear on a normal basis.
In conclusion, RTR Unlimited is good for someone who wants to wear designer, high quality clothing, has a constantly evolving wardrobe, works in a field where what you wear matters, or have events/vacations in a short time frame. Also, someone who can easily access UPS.
I would skip if you love to shop fast fashion, wear a uniform to work, or don’t really care what brand you are wearing. Additionally, if you are a good driving distance from UPS, you may not get the most out of your money!
The best part? I have a coupon code for you to use! My code RTRJENNIFER will get you $100 off of a two month subscription – that is $50/off the $159/month charge!! Try it HERE for two months, you will love it!!
