The ones that got away

[Adele]

I missed it due to showering (darn getting clean! ha). In all seriousness, the winning bid was over two hundred, which I don't know if it would have been wise, but gosh, it's so so pretty:

Yep, was watching that too. Alas I don't have that kind of money. In all seriousness, some prices on ebay are insanely high. However the most painful losses are the affordable ones that one misses for a reason or other.

Gorgeous! Dresses like that don't come up very often. I saw it but too small so I stopped watching, as it was too painful

 

[MidnightBlue]

That dress is just beautiful. I don't have those kind of funds laying around, but I'd be sorely tempted if I did

 

[Foofoogal]

my stars. That dress is worth $200.00 on any day. If in great condition it is a steal at that price. A work of art to be hung on wall IMHO.
to last that long is something.
where is Mojito. I bet she would go nuts over this dress. Fab.

Ditto that! It's a good thing I gave up ebay for the week, or else my bank account would be hurting right now lol That is beyond fabulous and worth every pretty penny, if the condition is as good as it is in that photo. I bet that dress was crazy expensive when new.
Do you happen to have a link to the finished auction? I'd love to save the pics for reference. I know live auctions aren't allowed but I think ended ones are...

Whenever I see the headline of this thread I never associate it it clothes/deals that got away lol

 

[Audrey Horne]

Good thing it wasn't my size, I was swooning when I saw it too.

 

[Audrey Horne]

This looked fun, but it wasn't my size and it was way out of my budget.

 

[crazydaisy]

Gorgeous!
Whenever I see something I really like they are way out of my budget. When they don't happen to be my size I actually feel ...relief.

 

[crazydaisy]

Thinking back at the 200 hundred dollars that blue dress sold for that's probably how much one would expect to pay for something really pretty in good nick. If you can buy anything cheaper than it must be by some struck of luck. Prices were similar at Frock me in London. The dresses I was looking at were even more expensive at 175 - 200 sterling pounds. And I would had happily paid that money if I only had it. Big sigh...

So I guess for once we can say that lovely dress went for a fair price.

More then fair....considering that there are folks out there paying 200 for -cotton day dresses- lately.

200 is a -bargain- for that dress.

 

[ShoreRoadLady]

Wow, Adele and Audrey Horne - those outfits are gorgeous! Sorry you didn't get them.

I love the fact that the godet/pleat on the blue dress matches the bodice fabric. I'm so saving these pictures.

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

[Lady Day]
