Barbara Deckx, known professionally as Barbara Dex, is a Belgian singer who has released songs and albums in both English and Dutch. She represented her country at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 in Millstreet with the song Iemand als jij which finished last out of 25 entries with only 3 points. She is best remembered in that contest for the outfit she wore on stage: an unflattering, handmade dress.
