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.

This is a version of skirt Look 2 as seen on the runway spring/summer 2002, ready-to-wear, model Rie Rasmussen 100% cotton in savana Leopard trim...
