Digby Morton Mustard Wool Bouclé Maximalist Appliqué Novelty Skirt - M, 1960s
Located in Tucson, AZ
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”

Charles James Spiral Dress
By Charles James
Located in New York, NY
Charles James, ca. 1950
Dinner Dress, often referred to as the Spiral Dress
Red silk faille
Extremely rare example
Like a red-hot cyclone, a spiral emanates from a central point on the hip. The fabric then angles off the straight grain as the skirt revolves around the body, introducing the bias.
The swirl terminates in a flared, curved-hemmed back, fastened by 3 fabric - covered buttons of graduated size.
The asymmetric draping forms a pronounced diagonal neckline which seems to wrap the wearer of its own volition, suddenly creating the effect of a stole at the back, before continuing on its tornado-like path.
A tour de force in draping, the dress, in constant motion, is 'engineered' more than 'designed', using the wearer's body as an axis. Long considered a masterpiece of the James oeuvre, the Spiral Dress is indeed a sculpture in its own right.
In the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Spiral Dress is currently on view in the Museum's seminal, historic exhibition, "Charles James: Beyond Fashion".
Provenance: This dress was acquired directly from the collection of Design entrepreneur Murray Moss...
