Wedding dress auctioned to pay for divorce

In January, Samantha Wragg, from Chesterfield discovered that her husband had been cheating on her.

In a weird incident, a 28-year-old woman in the United Kingdom has put her designer wedding dress, worth 2,000 British pounds, up for sale on eBay to pay for her divorce after she found her husband was cheating on her.

“I decided with a little help from my brother (ok it was all his idea!) to make it amusing”, she wrote.

But that doesn’t seem to have put anyone off, with the bidding now way over £13,000.

The blogger wrote that she only has two photos of the dress, as she “deleted everything” with her ex-husband’s “disgusting face” on when she learned he had been living with another woman.

“If you want a dress that is full of bad memories and shattered hopes and dreams then this is the one for you”, it continues.

“Hope this dress brings you a lot more happiness than it brought me in the end and if not.well you can always sell it on here”.

While it would be understandable for hurt or anger to linger after such a tough end to a marriage, Wragg clarified in her blog post that she doesn’t intend for the eBay listing to have any negative connotation.

“I had my wedding dress on eBay for two weeks with barely any views so I decided with a little help from my brother to make it amusing”. “But anyone who knows me knows I’ve got a great sense of humour and it’s very tongue in cheek”.

“The dress is strapless, with a long lace train and has been altered to fit Samantha’s petite frame so would be ‘perfect for someone who is 5ft or under with heels and is looking to save some money on a dress”, she said. Wragg also shared that since the eBay listing has gone viral, she’s received countless kind messages from strangers about her heartbreak-and even a few marriage proposals.

And despite the tone of her online advert, Ms Wragg says she does not bear her ex any ill will. Though Wragg refered to her cheating ex in the description, she assures readers in her blog post that she has forgiven him and wishes him the best.
