I bought this dress I saw on eBay. It's a Moroccan one, the kind that's cut so that it can fit a range of sizes. I have several in my closet, and I like 'em and use them as ritual robes a lot, so when I saw this one I snapped it up because no one had bid on it. Well, turns out, the thing does not fit. And not in the way you'd think- I can get it on, but it's way short- like falls a couple of inches below my knees when the ones I have come down to my ankles. Also the arms are too short, and the holes where the wrists go are small enough that it pulls on my forearms. So I can't wear this dress.

It's a bright emerald green. The eBay ad for it is here. The fabric is also a little lighter than the dresses I have, so this would work in all seasons (mine are pretty heavy for the summer) but it's soft and flowing. So if you're shorter than 5'8" and wear, say, size 20 or smaller, and are interested in this dress let me know. I'd be willing to sell it for what I paid for it ($35), and I'll cover the shipping (or drive it over if you're in Austin).
