Buyer pulls out of £170k deal for loom band dress
The buyer of a loom band dress who bid £170,000 on eBay has pulled out of the deal.
Helen Wright from Prestatyn and Kathryn Burnand from Wrexham made the dress from 20,000 loom bands, but an email arrived on Monday saying the deal was off.
The woman, who lives in Surrey, said she couldn't afford the £170,100 price tag plus £7 postage.
The dress is believed to be the first of its kind and captured the world's attention.
Helen, her daughter Sian and Kathryn appeared on ITV Wales News, the One Show, Newsround, and their story was told in newspapers as far away as Australia and New Zealand.
Helen, who works as a barmaid in Archies in Prestatyn said they had really enjoyed the the "whirlwind" and still thought anything over £50 would be a bonus. They now have a guide from eBay helping them with another bidder.
