Get the Look for Less with Rent the Runway

Rent the Runway is an online site that lets you rent designer dresses and accessories at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost you to buy "off the rack".  Though I've not rented a dress I really like this idea. 

So, here' show it works: 
1. You've got an event to go to right and you're like shoot WTH am I going to wear.
2.  You go to the Rent the Runway site and join (it's free)
3.  Search for a dress, select your dress size, and a backup size (hey you never know).
4.  Schedule a delivery date (about 2-3 days before actual event).
5. Your dress is delivered (fresh, clean, and dry-cleaned). 
6.  Wear it.  Have fun at your event.
7.  Return it (in the pre-paid box provided) and drop in a mailbox.
8.  That's it. 

You don't have to clean it.  They'll do that once it's returned.
Even if you rip the dress (you know while dancing ;-) or spill a drink on it, or whatever don't worry it's covered with the $5 insurance fee.
So what do you think?
I think it's an ingenious idea.  Of course two women (from Harvard Business) came up with this concept.  Love that.
Would you rent a dress from this company?
Let me know!
