I heard about their website a long time ago, but I just read an article about something they started doing recently that made me really excited. Now when you shop on their website you can see how the garments fit on people with different body types! For each piece of clothing that has been rented, photos of people who rented them are uploaded to the website. Listed next to their photos are their size, height, weight, body shape, and their review of garment, so you really get a good idea of how it fits.
How amazing would it be if every clothing retailer did this?! Shopping online would be so much easier!
Here's an example from RTR's site. Check it out for yourselves! http://www.renttherunway.com

Overall Fit: True to Size
LOVED this dress! Wore this to the local TV News Emmy Awards this wknd - and I felt like the golden Emmy statue! Got lots of compliments. Dress runs true to size... Ordered a size 10 and 12, the 10 fit, despite my hips' attempts to derail the process. The 12 was too loose overall. I have really thin arms, so I had to push the elastic portion of the sleeve further up so it would hold, making my sleeves shorter than the model on the website... but I liked it anyway. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it came with a dangling sequin in the front that I had to improvise with.... and having sequins on the butt area means you get up, and inevitably leave sequins behind. But otherwise, very well made and GORGEOUS.
