I know I'm probably tardy to the party on this one....

But at last - a clothes rental site for those of us who aren't a size 2!

Their sizes range 10 - 32 - that's right ladies, realistic sizes! 


I've never been particularly hepped on the "rent clothes that someone else has been wearing" idea. But I put that down to being a bit too old school. I can definitely see these type of sites being useful for getting an outfit for special occasions. Come on, who hasn't brought a fancy dress for a wedding that you KNOW you'll never have occasion to wear again!  Why not rent something? ;-)
