You can find all sorts on eBay, though one woman was shocked when she stumbled across a listing that appeared to be for First Lady Melania Trump’s wedding dress – which she wore to marry the current president.<\/p>\n

Melania’s extravagant Christian Dior by John Galliano gown from her January 2005\u00a0wedding\u00a0<\/a>to President Donald Trump is listed for $45,000 (or best offer), a good deal less than the $100k she reportedly paid for it at the time.<\/p>\n

Writer Liana Satenstein informed her “Neverworns” Substack subscribers on Tuesday (25 March) that the couture dress seemed to be available to purchase on eBay.<\/p>\n

It’s apparently only been worn twice, once by Melania and once by the seller for her own wedding.<\/p>\n

How did it end up being on eBay? Well apparently the seller bought it directly from\u00a0the First Lady\u00a0<\/a>in 2010 for $70,000.<\/p>\n

Though the listing boasts that the dress ‘had more than 500 hours worth of hand-sewn crystal beading Swarovski crystals were used with a 13-foot train’, it’s so far failed to entice buyers and has been sitting on eBay since January.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that’s because people suspect the dress might not be genuine, with a source\u00a0telling<\/a>\u00a0WWD the listing isn’t actually for Melania’s dress, which is still in Mar-a-Lago in her possession.<\/p>\n

The seller admits she’s made a fair few changes to the dress, writing in the eBay listing: “Because Melania trump was a size 0-2 I had to have this dress made a little bigger as I was a size 4-6.<\/p>\n

“I added a new layer of satin to the bottom of the dress and a few more embroidery pieces on the top, plus there was a new layer of fabric that was added to the back of the dress and straps as my chest is much bigger then Melania.”<\/p>\n

Mrs Trump wore the dress along with the matching 16-foot-long veil on the cover of Vogue in February 2005, shortly after the couple’s wedding in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

The lavish gown was crafted from 300 feet of white duchesse satin and hand-embroidered with crystal beading.<\/p>\n

A whole bunch of A-listers attended the couple’s wedding, including Bill and Hillary Clinton (yes, really), Katie Couric, and Shaquille O’Neal.<\/p>\n

The current POTUS proposed to the former model in April 2004, six years after they began dating, and the couple welcomed their son Barron Trump, now 19, in March 2006.<\/p>\n

Since his father entered the Oval Office for his second term, Barron Trump has been pushed into the spotlight more than ever.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old isn’t hard to miss, as he towers above his father at six foot seven, but he’s kept a largely quiet life and isn’t one for public speaking like\u00a0Donald Trump.<\/a><\/p>\n

Their son is currently a freshman at New York University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
