Girlfriends Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss turned a classic ‘closet full of clothes but nothing to wear’ moment into a business opportunity. The two Harvard Business School grads describe their business as “Netflix for dresses.” You’ll get access to 150 designers, prices that are 90 percent off the 25,000 dresses available, plus accessories for any day or night out.
