Why Misha is worth it
Misha makes sculpted, body-skimming occasion dresses: draped jersey and satin gowns with real shape, cut to look good in photos and in motion.
The dresses are built in fluid jersey, satin, cupro and some silk, shaped through the body with gathering, halters and controlled drape so they skim the figure instead of gripping it. Around them sits sharp tailoring with a defined shoulder and a firm hand, which gives the occasion pieces an architectural, grown-up edge.

About Misha
Michelle Aznavorian launched the label in Australia in 2013 as Misha Collection, growing it from a small team into a brand with an international following and a show at New York Fashion Week.
It made its name on the occasion dress: close-fitting, draped and sculpted, built for an entrance. Over time the house has widened into tailoring and knitwear, keeping the same focus on shape and proportion.

What shoppers say
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
- Fit
Pieces are cut in AU sizing, XXS to XL (AU 4 to 14), with some styles to XXL. Most are designed to fit true to size; fitted gowns sit close by design, and the brand suggests a size up in tailoring for more room through the waist.
- Fabric
Expect mostly viscose and polyester blends in jersey, satin, crepe and cupro; pure-silk gowns turn up in smaller numbers. The tailoring is firm with little give and is dry clean only.
- Shipping
US orders go by DHL Express from Australia for $39.95, free over $300, and duties and taxes are paid at checkout, so nothing is due on delivery.
- Returns
Full-price pieces can come back within 30 days of delivery for a refund; sale and promo-code buys get an exchange or credit only. You pay the return postage, and prepaid duties are not refunded.
- Demand
The satin and jersey gowns are a popular rental for weddings and black-tie events, and renters mostly report a true-to-size fit, though a few found strapless tops roomy.
