[单项选择]New Year’s Eve requires the ultimate party outfit. But what if your holiday spending has burned holes in your pockets
The answer might be to rent a little luxury.
The renting business has begun to lose the image of an industry filled with designer tuxedos, Halloween costumes or out-of-date evening wear. Still largely an industry dedicated to special-event clothing (dinners, corporate parties, weddings), it has started to branch out into more casual clothing. And for those not afraid to shop around, it has become an option for dressing up on a budget.
For the price of rentals (￡150, or $260, for a four-day period) , the only things available in most department stores are dresses that look as if they are late for the party." Working women have sophisticated tastes, but buying an evening dress is a very expensive proposition, and most people don’t want to wear the same dress more than once," says Doniger.
But what has brought on this recent change in perception
A. They like what is provided by the rental companies.
B. They need to change dress for every different occasion.
C. They cannot afford buying many new dresses.
D. They have no time for shopping in the department stores.
