dream dress

It was love at first sight, but you belonged to someone else. You were the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. I didn’t even know your name.

Twelve years later, I finally have you in my arms.

This is the story of how I met my favourite dress.

When a friend purchases an item that you also like, you must resist and practise good retail etiquette by waiting, as it is impolite to copy. You need to give it some time before quietly acquiring the same piece. Sadly, I waited too long, and my dream dress was sold out. Years flew by; Review clothing rebranded from their vintage green labels to the pastel pink tags, and even after thousands of releases and styles later, that classic dress never left my mind. There were other garments that I adored, but none could capture my heart the same way.

I never got over that elegant gown; it totally frocked me up, and I thought that I would never see it again. Until one fateful night when we reunited on the wonderful World Wide Web, a magical place called eBay.
