Glamorous elegant beautiful unworn with tags new vintage pure weighty quality heavy silk and fully silk lined, size 10, stunning party cocktail event dress in such a truly beautiful turquoise. Beaded jewel centerpiece lends a very royal elegance. Love this so much, was planning to have it altered smaller to fit but never have, and I'm now selling it, along with other items from my closet. Originally $1,095 at Bloomingdale’s marked down -30% to $766.50 and a final sale price marked down an additional -20% to $613.20. Its quality priced in a retail setting today would garner much more.
I will be open to offers if by late March I haven’t sold it, but the dress is fabulous, pristine, and its quality outstanding.

These dresses were staples in luxury department stores like Bloomingdale’s during this period with many designs from that era featuring intricate bead work, hundred percent silk construction, and 1940s inspired Hollywood glamour. Retailing over $1,000 and upward.
Following the introduction to their bridal line in 1996, the brand became known for luxurious, embellished, silk gowns, with many 1990s pieces featuring Empire waists and intricate beadwork. Solidifying the brand its reputation for red carpet looks during this time selling well over $1000 particularly for their couture evening collections featuring heavy silk fabrics. Badgley Mischka during the 2000s maintained a strong presence in high-end department stores such as Bloomingdale’s catering to the luxury evening wear market. Pricing for these rare well maintained vintage pieces still far exceeding $1000 from this era and are highly valued.
