Generously funded by both their families, power-couple and Parsons graduates Mark Badgley and James Mischka set out to bring back old '40s Hollywood glamour in a big way. Through the creation of Badgley Mischka Platinum Label, the brand's aesthetic and elegance are no longer just accessible to celebrities and the elite. The Platinum Label collection exudes the same streamlined decadence as the duo’s runway collections without the exclusivity. Regardless, the duo still holds each and every piece they create to the utmost standards with high quality fabrics, superior craftsmanship and oftentimes, meticulously detailed hand-beading.
This dress is fun and floaty in a gorgeous deep teal. It is very well made and light weight. Unfortunately the size I ordered was a bit small so I did return it. No other sizes were available. It was very long and would have needed to be hemmed. I am 5'7". I am watching for more dresses by this designer.

fabulous dress

I love the color, and fabric. Cut is very flattering. Very stylish, I wore to the ACM awards. I can't wait for another occasion to wear again. True to size. This is my first Badgley Mischka and wont be the last!

Beautiful Dress
May 21, 2012
This dress is very elegant, the purple is a nice rich eggplant color. The dress is very flowy but has great structure around the bust. You could add a brooch to the front where the material gathers to really make it pop. It would look better on someone more pear shaped. On me, it made me look very straight up and down; I decided to return.

Too Long
March 10, 2012
I really like this dress. Beautiful, well made but it runs soooo long. The length is given for a size 4. I bought the size 0 in hopes that the length would match the size. It is meant for someone 6' tall. Will have to have it taken up so I can wear it. I gave it 4 stars but would not recommend because it needs altering. Also the zipper is very tricky so I hope it doesn't break off.

Great, but with a few flaws
May 21, 2012
I think this dress could have been great, the length, the color, the ruffles - were all very good. But the bad part is the boning just didn't work on my body style. I have a short torso and the boning dug into me on all sides. Maybe would work better on a longer torso'ed person. Had to return.
