How much would the 20-year-old wedding dress of the US' current First Lady sell for? According to an eBay seller, the price starts at $45,000 and could go up to any amount. The seller, Svjabc1, listed a dress on the platform, claiming it belonged to Melania Trump. She alleged that she wore the same dress at her own wedding in 2010 after purchasing the gown for $70,000. However, a source told WWD that it could not be Trump’s dress, and the original John Galliano-designed Dior haute couture gown is kept in Mar-a-Lago.

“Because Melania Trump was a size 0-2, I had to have this dress made a little bigger, as I was a size 4-6,” the seller claimed, adding that she purchased it in 2010. She then listed the changes she claims she made to the dress.
“I added a new layer of satin to the bottom of the dress and a few more embroidery pieces on the top, plus there was a new layer of fabric that was added to the back of the dress and straps as my chest is much bigger than Melania,” the seller wrote.
