Top piece of advice for someone new to rental?
As a starting point, set your size in the filter (there's no point falling in love with a beautiful size 6 dress if like me, you're a size 12) But look at the shape, is it oversized? Be aware that some brands, like Ganni, work to different measurements (and typically run big) so you can afford to size down, opening up your options to more opportunities in a different category.
Next, look at what shapes have worked for you and your body shape in your own wardrobe and items that you've worn previously. Personally, I know what what I feel comfortable in and what suits me (for example, I won't wear anything above the knee) so this will also help you be more decisive during your search! If you’re unsure of the above, start small and rent an accessory. Handbags are a great option for first timers! And remember to have fun! You have your rental for a good time, not a long time!
