No, I'm not having you on - this dress was a fiver. Well actually, just under... £4.38 to be exact - with postage. I don't even know how I came across it. I was just pointlessly browsing eBay one day (...everyday) and this popped up on my search. I couldn't believe my peepers! It's that polo neck style thang going on and I love the cut out shoulders - it makes it a little more original than you're average little black number.

Quick note: If you're thinking of buying this bargain (or, in fact, any other goods from Eastern Asian countries) keep in mind that sizes in these countries tend to run smaller. Take note of the measurements in the item listing! I bought a medium based on the measurements given (I'm usually a 10 in dresses for reference). It's a tad short, but as you can see from the final picture, it looks equally fab with a skirt over it! I think I'll be wearing it that way most of the time as my long body / bootay combo make it a tad too mini-dress-ish for me to actually feel clothed!

The seller I bought from is based in China. I'm a bit hesitant of buying from overseas as I've had crappy experiences in my early eBay days. But I decided this bargain was too good to miss out on, even if this was a bit crappy too - a bit of a 'why not' moment! It took its time to arrive, but it made it all the way to my letter box eventually! The seller I bought it from no longer has the black version, but they do have the same polo neck dress in grey. Otherwise, I've linked to other sellers who have this in black still above. As for ordering from China again, I'm just too impatient. I think... but having said that, there are many more bargains to be had...!
