Futura...well since I am the one that has it up for auction I might not be the one to ask but personally I think the dress is worth a bazillion dollars. Actually I am already pleased with the bids and activity on the dress so if the auction ended now I would be happy.

I will let you know I researched this dress to the nth degree and could not find out squat about it except for the information on the tags itself. I spent a couple of hours on the web checking Disney collector sites, talked to a few local Disney collectors, asked questions on Ebay's Vintage Clothing Discussion boards, NOTHING! If it were not for the Disney tags and the fact that the fabric is dated I would have been really lost. The tag is vintage and the zipper is metal so all I could have gone with was maybe a 60's sounvenir or costume. My research actually led me here to this site which I felt was a great way to market the dress as I came to realize that it had value to TC boardies.

I will let you know and will guarantee that it will come to you in excellent condition. The winning bidder should be thrilled. The fabric is perfect, the zipper is like new, the trim is super clean. I can see someone slipping into this and heading off to the anniversary celebration for the Enchanted Tiki Room. As a Tiki enthusiast those would be pictures to treasure if you were in the dress and photographed in Disney.

Anyway, I just had to chime in with my additional 2¢ worth and want to thank all of those that have taken a peek at the dress. It is a great looking dress and would not be being auctioned off if it would fit me.

PS...all transvestites or wanna be transvestites are welcome to bid, your secret will be safe with me...LOL
