Digby Morton Mustard Wool Bouclé Maximalist Appliqué Novelty Skirt - M, 1960s

About the Item

Understated it is not, but somehow this skirt—which looks like the result of a threesome between a bath mat, several doilies and your grandmother’s pearls—manages not to be gaudy. Surprisingly, the mustard yellow acts as a neutral and pairs beautifully with a multitude of colors, so it’s more versatile than you might think. Not a statement piece, an exclamation. Maxi skirt heavily embellished with beads of multiple sizes and colors, pearls, sequins, ric rack, lace and fringe. Side metal zipper with double hook and tab closure; left on-seam pocket. Lined to embellishment in silk; embellishment backed in heavy duty felt. Hanging loops. fabric: wool bouclé, silk, felted wool noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: invisibly mended 2 small holes in wool condition: excellent with above-mentioned repairs measurements: waist: 28” hips: 40” length: 28" slits: 12” sweep: 38” (when slits closed) label: Digby Morton Designs for Reldan (made in England) size: vintage size 12; comparable to modern size medium
