If the thought of buying thousands of dollars worth of pregnancy clothes to wear for a mere four or five months makes your head spin, consider renting. Mine for Nine is a great web site that offers designer maternity clothes for rent at up to 75% off the retail price. Dresses, suits, pants, skirts and more from designers like Ripe Maternity, Olian and Isabella Oliver can be rented for amazing prices. Example: a beautiful silk floor length gown that sells for $183 can be rented for just $50 for one month. For weddings, New Years and other special events, this is a great deal.

How does it work? You can rent by the month or longer if you want work or casual clothes and you can rent more than one item at a time. Evening clothes can be rented for as little as 14 days. Amazingly, there are no late fees if you keep the clothes longer and when you’re ready, just return them (you pay for the extra days on a pro-rated basis). Clothes are either new or “like new” which means they have been professionally dry cleaned and inspected. The site has plenty of information on how to get the right fit, plus any order over $75 qualifies for free shipping. To ship your items back, use the return shipping label that comes in the box. Seems pretty simple and the prices are wonderful. You can even buy the clothes you see on their site if something really impresses you. Rating: A
