“This was my first RTR experience, and it was kind of addicting and overwhelming at the same time. Though the site allows you to filter by body type—an awesome feature that I now believe all sites should have—it’s not totally comprehensive, especially if you’re tall like me. I’m 5’11 with crazy long legs and arms, so it’s always a toss up to see what dresses will look like baby clothes on me, or what coats and sweaters will barely cover my forearms. This was easier to mitigate when a bunch of users had already reviewed the clothes with selfies, but everything I happened to rent was new, so I was flying blindly. Which, unfortunately, led to none of my stuff fitting properly and having nothing to wear on the day of the shoot, except for this BCBG dress. (Also, because of the fact that my second shipment got delayed in some place called Maspeth, NY, so I didn’t get them in time for the shoot—sorry again, Hilary!)”
