Scorned bride sells wedding dress on eBay to fund divorce


GLASGOW, Scotland — A furious woman is selling her wedding dress on eBay to fund a divorce from her "cheating" husband and looks set to make thousands of pounds.

Samantha Wragg, of England, posted the scathing advertisement on the online auction site and has been offered £65,900, about $86,000 from buyers, as of Friday. She has received 73 bids.

She wrote: "I'm selling this designer Art Deco wedding dress in ivory. Mainly selling as I need to pay for my divorce which my ex-husband has left me to foot the bill for! ...

"As it reaches the floor, it is a little dirty around this area and so will need a dry clean before it's worn for your special day. I didn't have time to get it dry-cleaned myself before my cheating scumbag of a husband decided to call an end to our marriage. It cost my poor parents around £2000 brand new in 2014! ...

"Sorry that there are only two pictures but when I found out my husband was living with another woman, I pretty much burned/permanently deleted everything with his disgusting face on it!

"If you want a dress that is full of bad memories and shattered hopes and dreams then this is the one for you! 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!"

The dress is described as used with the condition: "Great condition but needs dry cleaning before wearing to get rid of the stench of betrayal."

The blogger revealed the truth behind her shocking advertisement after he husband left her in January on her online website. 

She said: "I had my wedding dress on eBay for two weeks with barely any views so I decided with a little help from my brother (ok it was all his idea!) to make it funny."
