That ISO triggered me to set up an automated&nbsp;daily search on eBay, and eventually I found a navy version, but it turns out the dress runs very large, so it was roomier (and darker) than I wanted.</p> <p>This weekend, after a long wait, a red one popped up in the size I needed! It arrived today and I am so happy to have found this dress again. It washes and dries beautifully by machine!! No ironing, no line-drying, no fussiness at all. I consider it bulletproof.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-recolored-pinterest-copycat">Here's a thread</a> from a year ago&nbsp;where I posted a Pinterest copycat featuring my original dress, which was&nbsp;an ugly brown color but my love of the style overcame my distaste for the color. (I also thrifted one&nbsp;in a pinkish-reddish color, which I preferred by far.)</p> <p>The new&nbsp;dress is definitely RED rather than the pinkish-reddish one I had before. I had no idea it came in so many shades! Seriously, I would've bought them all up when they were still in-store.</p> <p>Happy dance! </p> <p>ETA: This absolutely would make it into a 10-item wardrobe, should I ever whittle down my closet!</p>
