Topshop’s Austin dress is selling on Ebay for DOUBLE the price – and it hasn’t even sold out yet
There are currently 72 listings for the popular dress on the auction site
LAST week Topshop released its latest ‘It’ dress in the form of a £40 midi with the store claiming “everyone will be talking about [it] this season.”
And that certainly seems to be the case with both styles of the newly released Austin dress – being compared to designs from Rixo – already appearing on Ebay for up to double the price.
The garment comes in both the newly released floral print as well as a star print in both black and white which have all been listed on the auction site.
And while the star print has now sold out in all sizes online the floral print is still available to buy on the Topshop website in both a size 6 and a size 12.
But despite this both sizes are among the 72 listings of the dress ranging from £15.30 at a starting bid to an £89.95 on a Buy It Now price.
Sizes 10 and 12 appear to have the highest asking prices on Ebay and appear to be the most popular attracting several ‘watchers’ on the lot.
The auctions are likely to be the work of so-called ‘fashion flippers’ who buy popular items in bulk and then sell them on at hugely inflated prices.
The floral take on the dress only hit Topshop rails last week with the high-street giant posting an image of the “midaxi” dress on Instagram claiming “everyone will be talking about [it] this season.”

One wrote: “Promised myself I don’t need anymore midi dresses as I already bought two from Topshop at the weekend… who am I kidding… just ordered. (sic)”
