I want this dress, but not for $500. It's worth $300 and she knows it.

Someone is selling ivory Chess Chocolate jsk & headbow on lacemarket starting at 550, but the BIN is 600. Previously they had the auction started at $600.

IMO it's only worth $450 absolute max. Half a grand for that dress is absolutely ridiculous.

By 20+ I mean that it is 25 cm too big. That's almost 10 inches without any sort of lacing; no pushup bra is going to be able to bridge that gap, and it's bound to look baggy and unflattering as hell. I've dealt with dresses like this before, and it's never ended well.

It's even better than I thought, bc I have the 93cm Rose Panel JSK in black and this is the 101cm version so the cut's a little different and it'll be a little more variety than just having 2 in different colours

My dream dress. I'd love to have either of these two cuts in gray.

I've had offers for the shirring OP for $500 which would look AWFUL on me because I have a flat chest. Then I got more offers for the lace-up JSK version for $400 and $350.

I've never gotten offers for either of the two in the pic, unfortunately.

What would be a good price for these? I've seen the OP in the pic sold for $240 on Rakuten, but is that price too low to ask? People are charging quite a lot for this dress for cuts I don't particularly like.
