Thrifty: Heather Saint in her best buy ever and husband Mark | A bride has beaten the credit crisis after finding her dream wedding dress for just 5 pence (Rs 4) on eBay
Heather Saint was surprised to win the antique white lace and silk dress with such a low bid.
Saint (20) said, "It is gorgeous and I was proud to tell everyone at the wedding how much it cost, I didn't mind anyone knowing."
"You should have heard me squeal with excitement when I opened the parcel and saw how perfect it was. It's made by a designer from Singapore."
Postage charge
And with such a bargain dress, Heather could afford to embellish it â with a £19.95 (Rs 1,580) hooped petticoat.
Saint said, "My dress was worth every penny. There was a £40 (Rs 3,172) postage charge, but the dress itself was just five pence."

The couple has kept the cost of their wedding down to £3,500 (Rs 2.7 lakh).
They made the invitations for 70 guests to attend a reception.
But their indulgence was Mark's must-have wedding transport a vintage Beetle with a champagne hamper in the boot.
Saint said, "We were careful about the cost, but we had everything we wanted. It was just that having a little girl and a house we had more important things to spend money on." |
