The London-based seller, who has not been identified, has listed the item as, 'Rejected wedding dress seeks lasting love and holy matrimony'. She has also provided images of the ivory lace dress, made by Diane von Furstenberg, as well as a tongue-in-cheek description.
The seller reveals how she was due to marry at City Hall in New York, however when she arrived in the city, things didn't appear to go to plan, with the couple separating – and the bride-to-be's wedding dress remaining inside a cardboard box ever since.
It was only removed from its box for photographs for the listing, with the mystery seller adding that she was unable to take it back to the store she purchased it from, because it is no longer stocked.
The full description reads: "I was supposed to be worn at City Hall in New York. I was going to be the main attraction of a 60s wedding them. 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 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)."
As of Friday afternoon, the dress was at £1,100.00, with seven days left on the listing.
