This month’s Vogue mentions a new sister website to Net-a-Porter called Outnet, which will apparently be an outlet or sale website to do justice to the past-season bonanza that already lives on the NAP website. A google search reveals nothing but let’s keep our ears pricked.
Also not exactly up and running but very interesting is a website called Girl Meets Dress, which works a bit like the designer bag rentals – you can rent and wear designer dresses from Chloe, DvF and the like. Okay, so it sounds a little bit skank but it’s basically like really amazing vintage. I think I would be interested, especially at Christmas when many party dresses are required. I draw the line at wearing someone else’s shoes though. I have to maintain standards somehow. Girl Meets Dress is not yet open for business but you can sign up for when it launches. ***EDIT*** Apparently Girls Meets Dress is shady but hopefully someone will work out a way to do the same idea.

Girl Meets Dress is a great idea especially during the current economic climate. I would be terrified of spillage/dirt/cigarettes coming anywhere near the dress!
I hired a dress from a vintage shop in Covent Garden, and it was a great decision. The dress was a full length deep lilac chiffon-y affair and I would have hated it by now. It was perfect at the time though so maybe dress hire is something I should consider again.
GMD has been shut down! They pinched all their images/ copy from another site!
Oh no! I should edit the post. Thanks for the info.
