The advert, entitled Wedding dress – worn once by mistake, reads:

“This stunning off-white gown would fit a 12-16 as it has a lace up back so very versatile it comes with a certificate of authenticity, and I have personally hand-washed the bad luck out of it!

“More than welcome to come try on and give it a twirl to make sure it fits and suits you.”

The listing, which has already surpassed its $300 AUD (about £175) selling price, continues:

“Cannot provide measurements as this was custom made for a little girl who thought she deserved less than what she was worth and she is now a strong woman – cannot measure up.”

The woman goes on to guarantee that it’ll look “stunning on”. So much so that it’ll be “enough so that it will distract you and your guests from the fact that you are marrying a compulsive liar”.
