Looking for Gwynnie Bee Reviews? After months of using the service, this is my full guide to the pros and cons!

Let’s talk about renting clothes.  For the last few months, I’ve been sharing my outfits from Gwynnie Bee’s clothing rental services.  Over the holidays, I had about a million events to attend.  And my big goal? To not break the bank on clothes. I wanted cute items to wear, without buying something new each time.  And my solution? After checking out a ton of Gwynnie Bee reviews, I decided to try renting clothes for a few trips and holiday events.  Gwynnie Bee was originally launched as a subscription box / clothing rental service for plus size woman.  But in January 2018, they expanded their offerings to sizes 0-32.  As a women with a pear shaped body, I’ve often struggled with finding a clothing rental company that had a variety of options to flatter my body type…..but this? Was a total success!

Gwynnie Bee Reviews: A Full Guide to Renting Clothes

How it Works: I wanted to be sure this was one of the most clear and extensive Gwynnie Bee reviews…..and to provide an full explanation of how it works.  Once you join, you will fill your virtual closet with items you’d like to borrow.  Suggestion? Fill it with MORE items than you are renting.  Because all are not going to be available at all times.  You can mark priority items.  As soon as you are ready for a shipment, Gwynnie Bee will send items from your virtual closet that you selected.  If you are borrowing items for a certain occasion (say a wedding or a vacation), I would suggest ONLY putting items in your virtual closet you’d like for that timeframe.  It’s the best way to guarantee you’ll get pieces you can use.  Once they’ve shipped you can select other items for the next time frame!  Shipping is free both directions and if you find something you love you can keep it at below retail price.

Cost:  Your monthly cost will depend on the amount of items you borrow at a time.  Current pricing is as follows:

1 item out: $49 per month

2 items out: $69 per month

3 items out: $95 per month

5 items out: $139 per month

7 items out: $179 per month

10 items out: $199 per month

My personal sweet spot? I like doing two or three items a month.  Remember, you can wear and return and order new items ALL in the same month.  Their turnaround has been pretty quick in my experience…..so you could definitely get at least two rotations in for that price.

Pros: 

I have to admit, I’m a pretty big Gwynnie Bee fan.  As someone who loves to wear a different outfit to events and then throws it in the back of my closet, it’s given me some great outfits without a commitment.  I love that there are unlimited exchanges and that shipping is always free.  I’ve found that they are quick to ship more items, and I’ve saved a TON on dry cleaning since Gwynnie Bee dry cleans all clothes when they are returned.  I love that they have a killer size range and that I’ve tried out outfits I wouldn’t necessary wear otherwise.

Cons:

My only complaint? I would like to see more of a variety of brands.  They do have a great selection, but I find myself attracted to the same few over and over again.  It may be that certain brands are available in certain sizes.  Remember, until a year ago, they didn’t stock my size (I wear a size 10)…..so I think they may still be building out the items available for the new sizes in their range.

Overall? If you’re looking for a great way to play with fashion and extend your wardrobe options? Gwynnie Bee is a GREAT service!
