Help me find the worst / tackiest dress you can on e-bay....

I got this email from a friend inviting us to their wedding and thought you might like to help me find the worst dresses possible............

X AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED!

We are planning to have a very small ceremony, mainly family, on x date, and then, by no coincidence on what would have been Glastonbury
weekend 24th/25th June, we're having a mini festival down on the Isle of
Wight - to which you are all expected to attend! As with all good festivals
there will be music, dancing, camping, silly games and plenty of messy
merriment.

The dress is "Oxfam Wedding Outfits" - the more changes the better, so start
keeping an eye out for £2 fancy frocks and suits you can trash. X has
already found a full frilly wedding dress on e-bay for £2.50 (no photo)
which I can't wait to see with a pair of wellies.

A bus will be leaving a central London location on Saturday morning,
returning Sunday evening (with the driver ideally having a good sense of
humour), so once I know you're coming, all you will have to do is board with
your tents and a small number of items I will list in short time... There
will also be pick-up points at other locations for those of you not from
London.

Actually that print is pretty cool MrsSpoon.

I can't believe some of these dresses. And the wording on some of them is even funnier!
