Are you on the hunt for a wedding dress? Well, this woman desperately wants you to take hers off her hands.

A woman from New Zealand, who goes by the username Emma_Matts, is auctioning off her previously worn wedding dress after her marriage didn’t work out.

But don’t feel sorry for this bride, she’s making sure she gets her happily ever after. The empowered woman has written a scathing ad for her wedding dress which she says is “in excellent condition – unlike my marriage.”

“Please help remove this dress from my life, it no longer means anything to me,” wrote a New Zealand woman in an ad for her previously worn wedding dress.

The advert, entitled Wedding dress – worn once by mistake, was posted to Trade Me, and 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 try on and give it a twirl to make sure it fits and suits you.”

“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 dress is up for auction on website Trade Me.

The dress was listed for $300 AUD, but has already surpassed it reserve price and now sits at $655.

As the advert continues, the bride reveals more about her failed relationship.

“[The dress] looks stunning on, enough so that it will distract you and your guests from the fact that you are marrying a compulsive liar,” she wrote.

“Apologies for the photos, I have lost around 90kgs if baggage,” wrote the sassy bride.

The wickedly funny bride says she will use the money she makes from the dress auction to pay for a gym membership to shed the weight she gained during her “miserably marriage.”

The listing, which has already attracted 32 bids, ends on 16 January.

The dress advert concludes with the woman offering to throw in her shoes too:

“Happy to also provide pictures of my shoes that I can chuck in for a good price. Those aren’t needed anymore either because I walked away with the feet I was born with and will keep moving forward with those (keeping the veil for the ‘out of toilet paper’ emergencies).”

You go, girl!
