Hi Ladies,
I’m lucky enough to be able to get my dream dress the Badgley Mischka Lauren dress since I can purchase the sample but what’s the right price to be pay for it? Please note it has some little stains, marks, needs to be cleaned and lip gloss stain but the store will “spot clean” the dress hoping it will come out *fingers crossed*. The dress retails for almost $8,000 so what is the right price I should pay for the dress? Thanks!

Hmm….the price of a sample obviously depends on many factors. My dress was around $5k. I paid a little under $2k for my sample, which was luckily in almost perfect shape (the store hadn’t had it on the floor for long). Hopefully that helps you a little!

I also purchased a sample dress. I would expect a minimum of 50% off. If the store is willing to sell the sample, it usually is because of condition (yours sounds like it has been pretty beat up) or the style is discontinued. Make sure cleaning is included and that you can inspect the dress before agreeing to buy it.
