I KNOW!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
I just have to get some minor repair work done on it. Its previous owner was trying to make it fit a size or 2 larger than its meant to be and the seams and zipper didn't take too kindly to that. :)

I LOVE that style of dress so much and I've never looked on ebay. Now I want to, even though I really can't justify buying any more dresses. So pretty though! I wish I had lived in the 50s.

Once you start looking on ebay you get completely sucked in! :)

The thing is though, you can find cool dresses for not huge amounts of money. I mean, yeah, there are some of them that are hundreds of dollars, but I got mine for less than $50.

Of course nothing is in a contemporary size so you have to dig through all the listings to read the measurements. It's easier to resist buying stuff though because you have to find something that you like that's also your size, and it isn't like every dress is available in every size.
