Champagne silk shantung
Stunning Bodice hand beaded with pearls and crystals
Short train
Deep V-back and scoop neck
Drapes and falls beautifully for an elegant silhouette (train in the photo is slightly crushed from being in storage)
Each shoulder strap can be separated into two strands so that one part drops over upper arm (the two parts of each strap are currently sewn together)

Badgley Mischka have captivated the fashion press and prominent retailers around the world with their sophisticated style that caters to a younger, more modern couture customer, without forsaking women of any age. They have remained true to this design philosophy and the consistent integrity of their collections. Their timeless designs appeal to a range of fashionable women, including Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Mirren and Ashley Judd.

Designs are constructed of the finest fabrics and superior craftsmanship. There is always an element of interest, either in the silhouette or with luxurious detail. They have remained true to this design philosophy, and the consistent integrity of their collections has pushed them to the forefront of fashion.

"Our style harks back to the glamorous Hollywood of the Forties," says James. “The Badgley Mischka signature style is simple, streamlined and thoroughly elegant.”

Worn once and has been kept in a dress bag since this date. It has not been dry cleaned (price reflects this) and it has only light marks on the hem of the dress which are not noticeable, otherwise in pristine condition

The dress belongs to my sister-in-law who lives in the US and I am selling it on her behalf. The model in the photos is my niece, so the dress does not fit as well as it should.
