"  With prom, graduation, and wedding season approaching, chances are there&amp;#039;s an occasion coming up when you&amp;#039;ll want to look your absolute best. But you also won&amp;#039;t want to mortgage the house for something you&amp;#039;ll probably wear just once. Luckily, fashion rental websites can help you out. These sites rent dresses, jewelry, and handbags that will make you look like a million bucks for a fraction of what you&amp;#039;d pay at retail. Over the past couple of years, I&amp;#039;ve tried a couple of these websites. Although I went into them with butterflies, I had great experiences. Here&amp;#039;s what I love about them. Rent the Runway - Choose dresses from over 160 designers, including Vera Wang, Badgley Mischka, Nicole Miller, and other top names in fashion.  It&amp;#039;s easy to use! Log onto RentTheRunway.com and sign up for free. Dress rentals can be booked up to 6 months in advance and are yours for 4 days, or you can opt to keep them for 8 days if let&amp;#039;s say you&amp;#039;re going to a destination wedding.   You get TWO dress sizes. Like most women, my biggest concern about renting a dress was, &amp;quot;Will it fit?&amp;quot; Fortunately, Rent the Runway sends your selection in two different sizes for the price of one.       Helpful customer reviews. Rent the Runway customers are enthusiastic about sharing their rental experiences; many post pics of themselves modeling their dresses. It&amp;#039;s helpful to see photos of the dress on a real person instead of just on a model.    Coupons. You&amp;#039;ll get coupons for your birthday and randomly throughout the year. Plus, you can get discounts for each friend that you refer to the site.  What else you should know: You pay $9.95 for standard shipping and $5.00 for insurance (so you don&amp;#039;t have to worry about stains). Return shipping and dry cleaning after you&amp;#039;ve worn the dress are included. And if you&amp;#039;re looking for a one-stop-shop, Rent the Runway also rents accessories to complete your outfit. Bag Borrow or Steal - If you&amp;#039;ve ever seen the Sex and the City movie, you&amp;#039;ve heard of Bag Borrow or Steal. It allowed Jennifer Hudson&amp;#039;s character, who lived on a tight budget, to carry around the latest Louis Vuitton handbags.  No hidden fees. Standard shipping is free and damage insurance is included in the cost of the rental. New users get 20% off their first purchases; simply log on to BagBorroworSteal.com and sign up.    Rentals are one month long. Instead of renting for just days at a time, you can rent accessories from Bag Borrow Steal for an entire month.      Great selection. You get access to the most renowned designer labels (Chanel, Judith Leiber, and Alexander McQueen to name a few). I love Bag Borrow or Steal because it lets me to treat myself to elegant extras that I would otherwise never be able to afford.  What else you should know: Functions as an immediate rental; you rent the item when you want it shipped. If the item is unavailable, you can add your name to a waitlist. Bag Borrow or Steal is continuing to add new products on a weekly basis, so keep checking back for the newest styles! Have you used a fashion rental website? Let us know what you think!
