For the right price, Melania Trump’s 2005 wedding dress could be yours.
A Substack user discovered that the $100,000 Christian Dior dress the first lady wore when getting married to Donald Trump was listed on eBay for the bargain basement price of $45,000 (with free shipping).
Liana Satenstein explained in an article on her Substack, “Neverworns,” Tuesday that her friend was dress shopping for her upcoming wedding when she stumbled upon the listing after looking up “80s Dior dress” on eBay.
The description on the eBay post states: “Christian Dior wedding dress specifically designed by John Galliano for Melania trumps wedding in 2005 to Donald Trump. United States PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!”

The Massapequa, New York-based seller claims that she bought the dress from the former model for $70,000 for her own wedding in 2010.
According to the original Vogue article, the gown is made up of 300 feet of white duchesse satin and hand-embroidered with 1,500 rhinestones, crystals, and pearls. Melania featured the 60 pound dress on the Feb. 2005 cover of Vogue.

The eBay seller made some adjustments to the dress, adding more fabric and embellishments, which she showed off in a lengthy selection of photos.
President Trump proposed to Melania on their way to the 2004 Met Gala, and the pair got married in Palm Beach with figures like Shaquille O’Neal, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Rudy Giuliani present.
Trump posted on his Instagram a photo of the two in January celebrating their two decades of marriage.
The eBay seller drove a hard bargain, ending the listing description by emphasizing that she was looking for “SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY” and wouldn’t accept returns. The listing has been up since January.
As of Tuesday, the dress is already in two people’s carts—let the highest bidder win.
