Another dress I adored but I dropped out early. It went for $222.50! It's lovely but it wouldn't be that difficult to reproduce--the mysteries of ebay confound me.

They don't have any copies up right now, but usually you can find a few on there. I got mine from a seller on ABE about a year ago for $30. At the exact same time it was going for $100 on ebay!

Well done on being so disciplined and sticking to your budget in the face of such fierce temptation, I bet something lovely will wing it's way to you now and it'll be even prettier.
