Can't believe it...
« on: August 24, 2006, 10:54:52 AM »
Oh. My. God.

It's the first day of school and I JUST (at 10:30am) got a chance to check out my fun email (usually it's one of the first things I do after checking work email). And there it was. "You won your Ebay bid." Hee hee.

Here's the thing. I decided for shits & giggles that I would put in a ridiculous bid for a wedding dress. It's quite pretty and simple...which I would want in a wedding dress.

But I never expected to win it. I put my total bid to top out at $25 (that's about £18...which I spend on a meal quite regularly). I truly thought it'd be topped quite easily, as most of the wedding dresses I saw were being bought for $125+ (some even higher). But this one didn't. I got it for $20.25. Crazy. That is £10.70 for me. That's almost the price of a movie. That's about what I pay for a few drinks out. And I bought a dress for that. Unbelievable.

I'm having it sent to the US (my dad's address) so that I can try it on when I visit in Dec. I may wear it to part of the reception....not sure yet. Or perhaps, may not wear it at all, if it's not too great a dress or it doesn't work with my bod. For that price, it doesn't really matter!

Here's to Ebay...now we'll see if the seller actually sends it to me!

my best friend got two dresses on e bay. the first ended up being crap  but the second was fab and she also got it for a ridulously low price.. it's  a  crap shoot at times but if you are lucky and it's what you want.. cool!   congratulations on such  a good find!

Very pretty!   :)  I was very tempted to try eBay for my gown but was too much of a fraidy cat.

The cool thing for me is that I wasn't planning on wearing a wedding dress...I'm going with an Indian dress...but if it works I'll wear both...Indian during the ceremony & cocktail hour, white during the rest of the reception...and if it doesn't work then it's not a HUGE amount of money to have spent.

OMG! It's absolutely gorgeous!! Youre very fortunate! I guess it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
