Here are some companies to help you nab your look:

Rent the Runway

This New York City-based online service allows you to rent designer gowns from nearly 100,000 options. Users can keep the gown for four to eight days before returning it. The rental even comes with a free backup size just in case one doesn't fit. Reserve a gown from designers such as Zac Posen, Cynthia Rowley and Hervé Léger up to one month in advance.
