The Perfect Dress on Ebay?!

So, as I was telling you before, we went to David's Bridal and I got to try on my dress it is a Satin side draped A-line with beaded metallic embroidered lace, it has a lace up back, and split back with lace appliques! It is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! This is the perfect dress but the price is not, as dresses go it is not outrageously priced but for us on a DIY budget it is out of the question! I could not see myself paying over $1000.00 for something I would never wear again so very I was very disappointed but now the hunt was on...I would have this dress, I didn't know how but I would have this dress!!

So, I started scouring wedding sites like The Knot, Weddingbee, Recycled Bride any many many others. I found that dress for sale many times but not close to my size or price range....UGH Then I thought let me check Ebay and Craigslist but no one was selling that dress! I checked daily but the perfect dress was seamingly out of reach. I decided to check Ebay again and there was one for sale a size too big but it had a soiled train and you could tell by the pics dry cleaning would not help.

Around Midnight I decided to check all the sites again for new listings but no luck. Went back on Ebay for another look and a new listing was there... It was the DRESS!!! My size, the right color (Ivory), and a price I could not resist. Some might say it is tacky to buy your dress on Ebay but I call it recycling and this is my wedding! I bought the dress for $150.00, yes less than 1/3 of the price at David's Bridal! It's been dry cleaned and preserved by the seller and is in excellent condition!

After many messages with the seller, I found out that she didn't know if she should sell the dress and was about to take the listing off! But after our messages back and forth she knew she had to sell the dress to me, she said " I think that it is fate that you messaged me right when I was about to cancel the listing. I know you were meant to have this dress" She has made me one very happy bride!

So here is a little sneak peak at my dress...
