Auckland Cup parade - dress on Trademe!!!

Hello all :
just found a very nice dress for our Auckland Cup parade on Trademe. Pic below: Very flapper style, BUT this is not an original 1920s dress - this is a 1970s/1980s dress. There was a bit of a flapper style revival then :-) Nevertheless, although not original , this is a nice dress which would definitely do the job (imagine it worn with a headband with feather and some cute wrist gloves!) .The price reflects the era of the dress - original 1920s dresses go for at least $400-500 and upwards. This one starts at $10 and Buy Now is $60. Mind you, i would not pay $60 for this dress - i would go maybe up to $30.
In case someone is interested , Auction Number: 195392808.
I have a size 8 (very small) original crepe 1920s black flapper dress which is nothing short of spectacular, and in mint condition. It is timeless and amazing collectors item which will always be in fashion. I will put up the pics and dimensions next week, so if anyone is interested in purchasing do let me know. Have a great New Years Eve! (I am staying in bed! :-)
