Especially since it is returnable -- then you can see if the reality of the dress meets your expectations after so long. It's beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146265 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 05:03:28 +0000 Deborah 1146265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry but I am not a sensible YLFer!

If the tailor says it can be altered I would buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146222 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 04:21:30 +0000 Gigi 1146222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The price isn't bad, and you can return it if the tailor says it can't be taken in for whatever reason. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146202 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 04:07:52 +0000 Sveta 1146202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you still pine after this dress after 2 years it is a sign you NEED it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146195 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 04:03:05 +0000 Anonymous 1146195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that IS pretty! Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146179 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 03:48:39 +0000 Jaime 1146179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without investigating, my instincts say this unlikely to be inauthentic. It doesn't look like something that would be profitable to fake. And if it is within two sizes, as Denise says, I say pounce! A good dressmaker will make it fit better than if it were in your size in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146066 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 01:35:51 +0000 April 1146066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Echo -- the question of authenticity is a really good one. &nbsp;I was a little suprised when I looked at the seller's other items&nbsp;and saw that they're mainly bras in rather unusual sizes (28M?). &nbsp;</p> <p>As the mother of a teenaged boy who spends half his life stalking flyboy sneakers on eBay, you'd think it would have occurred to me that authenticity might be an issue... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146052 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 01:13:50 +0000 Echo 1146052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only concern would be that the fabric on both sections of the dress is quite different from the original. If that still appeals to you and you know its authentic, then it is absolutely worth a try. Anytime you still love something this amount of time later, you HAVE to take the opportunity to try it. I still have an item in mind that "got away" and I shudder to think how foolish I was to pass it up. Don't let this be a long-term regret. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146044 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 01:04:41 +0000 April 1146044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Peri --&nbsp;$99.99 is very reasonable (and I'm sure it's a lot less than it was from Searle, though I don't remember the original price.) &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth the after-market tailoring cost to scratch the itch of this dress. &nbsp;It's definitely a want and not a need, but we don't live on bread alone, right?</p> <p>@Thistle -- yes, still my style. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146038 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:56:01 +0000 Peri 1146038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I'm going to enable. Unless $100 is really too much, but otherwise, go! I think if you have loved something for two years that's a strong sign. If you have it you will find someplace to wear it. And if it is not tailorable then maybe you could just resell it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146026 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:43:23 +0000 Thistle 1146026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third those above. Do you have a fabulous tailor? Is it within a size of yours? If that is the case, pounce. You are still drooling after all this time.</p> <p>I just want to make sure you are still drooling and it is a lost love. Sometimes the one that got away was meant to. And after this much time, is. It still your style. Just asking so there are no regrets later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146025 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:42:17 +0000 April 1146025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sarah A:&nbsp;I like the lower contrast zipper and I love the deep blue. &nbsp;</p> <p>And I do have a very good seamstress who can handle complicated alterations. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146015 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:31:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 1146015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only question would be do you have a good tailor? If yes then I wouldn't hesitate. It sounds like true love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146014 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:31:13 +0000 LACeleste 1146014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Logging into say go for it if it meets CocoL's size criteria above.</p> <p>If you are still thinking about it, maybe it's meant to be? Good luck April!</p> <p>It is a very cool dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146013 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:30:10 +0000 viva 1146013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love it. LOVE. I agree with Sarah. If the color still makes your heart sing and you have a good tailor, I would pounce. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1146003 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:15:55 +0000 Sarah A 1146003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if it still makes your heart jump two years later that is quite a dress. I colorway is slightly different, blue and charcoal with the front zipper not as high contrast as on the black. Do those changes bother you? Do you have a good tailor? This doesnt seem like a first time to try someone project.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-magaschoni-dream-dress-resurfaces-on-ebay#post-1145998 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 00:12:04 +0000 April 1145998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CL -- Una was fainting over this dress too, and she had actually called the store for dimensions. &nbsp;If this one is similar to the original (and not an eBay second of some sort), it runs a bit small and shouldn't be too big to alter.</p> <p>It's not final sale so I'm sorely tempted. </p>
