Have you ever had an experience where a dress just speaks to you? This story takes that concept to a whole new level.
Meet Zarita (in Ivory), a wedding dress who’s attempting to sell herself on eBay after her owner never made it to the altar. On June 11, the Daily Mail reported that a woman whose wedding was cancelled put the dress up on eBay.
Zarita’s looking for someone else who will love her forever, posting herself to the marketplace with the subject line, “Rejected wedding dress seeks lasting love and holy matrimony (DVF Zarita Size 8).”
Zarita considers herself “low-key, but elegant” and “not over the top.” She wants to find someone who can treat her the way she deserves. (Currently, she’s being kept in a box and was only taken out for her eBay photo debut.)
Here's what she looks like:

Zarita is made by Diane von Furstenberg and costs 300 euros, but bidding for the dress is already up to 1,150 euros with just a little less than four days to go on the auction.
Check out Zarita’s eBay description below:
“I was supposed to be worn at City Hall in New York.
I was going to be the main attraction of a ‘60s wedding theme.
I was going to be low-key, but elegant (I still am, for that matter).
I was going to complement a’ 60s updo, nude courts, and a bouquet of Lily of the Valley.
When my owner put on a dress just like me in Selfridges, she knew I was the one so she ordered me online and had me delivered to her husband-to-be in Brooklyn.
I’m not over the top, nor am I too dressed down, and she thought she could perhaps wear me to other occasions in the future.
She thought I was a dress she could look back on and smile, not cringe at [like a] fashion faux pas (she was right).
When I arrived, she kept me sealed in my box so nothing could ruin me.
Then they split up.
And she kept me in the box.
Because she couldn’t bear to look at me.
I am a constant reminder to her of what could have been.
So she wants to sell me.
Not necessarily to a bride, but to anyone looking to give me the home I deserve.
A home where I’ll get worn and admired and dry-cleaned (as and when necessary).
She can’t take me back to DVF because they no longer stock me.
I’m limited edition, if you like.
And the first time I have been taken out of my box is for these photos.
Because who’s going to buy a dress based on a picture of a box?
I can’t wait to be worn by you (and to see the back of my cardboard confines once and for all).
Love,
Zarita (in Ivory).xx”
