...dresses that you like so you can make your decision later. "Last year there was a stretch of about two weeks of events where I probably dropped $40,000 in dresses," says Tatiana Platt, an Internet executive and a Wardrobe fan. "It was ridiculous." With Wardrobe, Platt can supplement her well-stocked closet and get the peace of mind that comes with knowing she won't have to spend a fortune to ensure that she won't be photographed in the same dress twice...
