Yes it's lovely! The hair thingy is gorgeous too.

But isn't one bloke bidding against himself for the dress or am I reaing it wrong?

Coast stuff is so well made too, normally all lined and well cut.

Liking the 2nd more more but would like to see it in colour. Slightly concerned that dark blue on cream will look a bit too much like a piece of china IYSWIM.

The second one is lovely but is it a size 12 or 14? Also it's going to cost over £50 and the seller has a feedback rating of only 3 so if you do buy make sure you buy using paypal and preferably using a credit card incase something goes wrong.

I like that next one and the first other one but my tits arent good enough.

I prefer the strapless neckline

That last ebay one is nice but missing the lovely bit of taffeta stuff that shows under the hem on the coast one!

pecka, beware because coast dresses are very generously sized.... if you were going to buy a dress off ebay you should perhaps try some on in coast to check what size to be.

a great thing about coast dresses i s that they sell really well on ebay, so you'd probably get your money back after wearing it.

i bought a coast dress off ebay for £65 and 2 identical to it have sold this week on ebay for £125!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but pretty tempted to get this myself:-
