I fell in love with the Terra Paisley Shift Dress as soon as it I saw it last year. Unfortunatly, I just couldn't justify the $225 price tag for a silk/wool dress that I wouldn't be able to wear very often. Even when it was reduced, it was still out of my budget. So, I let it pass but thought of it often....sigh.

Then last month, I came across one on eBay and won it for guess what........$40.99, brand new with tags!! Here is a quick picture of it styled very, very basic. I found that it fits TTS. As other bloggers have mentioned, it is shorter then the website picture. Fortunately it had a substantial hem that I was able to let out and rehem (you can still see the old hem line, I need to iron it out better). And viola, it is now to my knees and church appropriate!
I love a great eBay deal, especially with all those sellers that inflate the prices so ridiculously high!! What was your best eBay deal???

Beautiful dress!!! What a great deal!! I never score good deals but maybe it's because I don't shop eBay as much as I should!
Wow, I am drooling over that dress...it is absolutely gorgeous, and you styled it perfectly!
I check eBay only about once a month because I get bored of searching too often for all the 'ones that got away'...it gets exhausting. My latest and best score was The Blackberry Infusion blouse from Anthropologie for $30 (brand-Floreat, silk and brand new with tags. I think it was originally listed for either $98 or $128!
Hi! I once bought a Liberty print blouse by J. Crew for 12 dollars, buy it now. Here's the thing...it was too big! Agh. It's okay, ended up giving it to my lovely stepmother. :)
I love that dress, and I too was in love with it! Good for you...
I love that dress! You definitely scored a great deal as I think I've seen it for crazy prices.
I recently scored the J Crew Velvet Ecole in the gold/mustard color for $9.99 on eBay.
Cute outfit! I'm constantly searching Ebay looking for deals...I think I got a pretty good one on a Coach bag over the summer!
it is lovely! and WHAT A STEAL!!
What a beautiful dress and such a great deal. I'm not so sure what my best deal was from eBay. Maybe one day I'll get lucky scoring it? I so wish I had that dress but it really was out of my budget last year.
Great buy!!! It's a beautiful dress.
What a steal! I looove that dress -- it looks gorgeous on you. I've had some great luck with eBay to score old school J.Crew pieces I missed out on, like the Bella jacket (in the summer before the prices went bonkers), a couple lovely wool perfect pencil skirts in past season colors, the postcard-print cardi and the wool ribbon ravine dress.
Um, wow - major score on that beautiful dress! It's gorgeous on you! I am an ebay failure, but even when I overpay, I'm just so happy to get the piece I thought I missed out on...so it's all good ;)
I love when I find things I've lusted after forever on ebay, congrats! It looks great on you and great job with the hem!
I love finding great deals on eBay.
The best deal was once I "won" a ivory wool coat from Banana (similar to a Jcrew coat). It was off-season and I think I paid around $100 for it. The seller took forever to get it to me and felt bad so she refunded me and told me to keep the coat. Wow!
wow. gorgeous. I go the shirt, anyhow. . .
Awesome deal! I might have won some shoes for $32. I need to check, actually *lol*
Great dress! Enjoy wearing it!
So far I only bought a kitchen gadget off e-bay.
Gorgeous!!!
Congratulations on the dress--it's a STUNNER--esp. on YOU! smile
Love the dress on you and congrats on scoring such a deal! :)
What a steal and deal! This is drop dead gorgeous dress. Congratulations on a fabulous score.
