It's like Netflix.... For clothes size 10-32. Seems like it might be useful when I'm losing weight and don't want to spend money on dresses that I'll only be able to wear once!

familiar with www.freecycle.org ?   i got tons of clothes for the "ride down" for free, locally.  it's a yahoo group, and there are thousands of chapters, mainly going by county ... across the U.S.     I bet there's one in your county.   Well, in the U.S.   I dont know if its across the pond or not...

I've been a "member" since October.  I LOVE it.  I work in a business-casual office (dress pants and a nice top are my daily "uniform").  It is great if you wear dresses or need nicer tops for work.

I have a 2 items out at a time plan and it is about $60/month.  I figure that I was buying stuff at Lane Brant for an average cost of $60 a month to get a variety of tops for work - with Gwynniebee I get more variety for the same price I was spending otherwise.

I think it will be great as I am dropping sizes b/c you "closet" the items you'd like to try in the size you need.  (there are size charts for all the brands they have)

If I were a stay-at-home mom or didn't need nicer things to wear to work - I wouldn't do it - but given my cir****tances - it is great. 

They do a FREE trial (they need a CC number, but you can cancel before the 30 days is up).  I had 3 items out at a time for my free month.

I am saving this link because I too work in a business casual office, and these clothes would be appropriate for that environment.

However I don't know if I will use the service or not because these are women's clothes and I don't feel comfortable in feminine attire.

I just signed up for my free trial (last thursday) and received my package yesterday (I loved the quick turn around time).  2 of the 3 items didn't fit right (but I did think they were cute) and one I really liked and am going to keep and wear for awhile.  So far I really like the idea of the service.  We'll see how quick the turn around time is now that I sent the 2 items back, but I'm really intrigued by the whole concept.  And honestly, $75 a month for clothes I'm praying to shrink out of seems like a good deal to me.  

One last thing, the quality of the 3 items I received was really high.  So far I would recommend it, I think now its just a matter of figuring out my sizing with the different brands they carry.  Hope that helps and good luck!

I've had good luck with turnaround.  They are based in NY, so the closer you live to NY, the faster your stuff comes and goes.

I live in Minnesota, so from the time they post that they have sent the item until I get it, is 2-3 days.  The nasty storms we've had has caused a few delays, but it wasn't too bad.

The trick is to log in and tell them you have returned (click the box that says you have sent it back) and they get the next item going.  You don't have to wait for the return item to get to them before they send the next.  You just have to click and notify that you have sent it back.

FOLLOWING, thanks for all the info.  $$ saver!!
