A woman selling her wedding dress on eBay says she is selling it to fund her divorce, after her husband left her and moved in with another woman.
Samantha Wragg, of Chesterfield, says she is "mainly selling as I need to pay for my divorce which my ex-husband has left me to foot the bill for".
Ms Wragg says she added her story to her advert on the online auction site after initially not receiving any bids.
The Art Couture dress has now attracted bids in excess of £13,000.
Ms Wragg, who is 28, says her parents bought her the size six dress for "around £2,000" in 2014. She first put it up on eBay for £500 on 11 August.
She describes it on the listing as being in "great condition but needs dry cleaning before wearing to get rid of the stench of betrayal", adding that she did not have time to have it cleaned before her husband "decided to call an end to our marriage".
She added: "I'll also throw in my veil (yes, that's right - I went all out princess on the day!)."
She goes on to apologise for only posting two photographs of the dress on the advert, but says that "when I found out my husband was living with another woman, I pretty much burned/permanently deleted everything with his disgusting face on it!"
Wedding dress, may not bring good luck

Wedding Dress
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." Many people don't understand just how overrated this whole marriage "business" is.

Re: Wedding dress, may not bring good luck
Yes, it is symbolic to the insincere; those who lightly make promises they intend not to honor.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I agree with Meade. Marriage, like anything else worthwhile, takes work; but it also can be pretty great when it does work out.
