Bought it wanting to cheer myself up, I was looking for those cheap eBay summer dresses that were so popular last year and found this so got it on a whim.

The fabric is nicer and the skirt flowy and light and I think the scrunchy/rutched top part is actually really flattering and finishes in the right place to disguise my mum tum a bit. Overall I think it's lovely for 12.50 or whatever I paid for it and will probably be my favourite go to this summer even if it is just around the house Grin
Hope someone finds it helpful I always love eBay Best Buy threads!

Ooh, thanks for the share. It's lovely. I've been looking for these kinds of dresses & hadn't thought to check Ebay! 4 new dresses on the way!

meemaw12 · 17/05/2020 11:40

Ooh lovely. I've just bought one in navy thanks for the link 👍

oohnicevase · 17/05/2020 11:42

Did you order the size you are in uk? Or size up? I've bought a few eBay dresses before and even jumpsuits . All lovely .

Figroll16 · 17/05/2020 11:45

That IS nice-thanks for tip! What's the sizing like?

SuperficialSuzie · 17/05/2020 11:45

Pretty but unfortunately polyester makes me sweat

pumpkinpie01 · 17/05/2020 11:54

Oooh lovely thank you , just my style 👍

Zisforstripyoss · 17/05/2020 12:31

Very nice - saving for when I get paid!

lockdowngandt · 17/05/2020 12:32

There's a guide in the description @Figroll16 @oohnicevase I went for a 12 UK and I'm usually 12/14 it's quite forgiving as the top is very stretchy if I pull at the sides of the rutched fabric it has loads of room and obviously I imagine the skirt part is probably one size for all.

Aww that's a shame @SuperficialSuzie you might be surprised with it though! It's very breathable and only tight around the top and the bottom is very flowy and barely touches my skin.

That's really pretty. But such a shame it's polyester, otherwise I'd have bought one.

whoami24601 · 17/05/2020 13:02

Bought thanks OP! I went for red. What did everyone else go for?

lockdowngandt · 17/05/2020 13:17

I went for black but I quite like the green/navy too so will be thinking about that .

Is it as low in the back as it looks on the picture.. With ruching I would need to wear a bra though not in my size anyway

lockdowngandt · 17/05/2020 14:44

I don't think it's that low and I think the straps are adjustable but I will double check on mine.
