Dress #112: Charles James dinner dress in shimmering brown Armadillo If you don’t tellThis hand stitched paper dress is based on the Spiral dinner dress created by Charles James in ca. 1950; the original is held by Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession 2009. 300. 167). The design uses asymmetrical draping, and the skirt is constructed in a single piece that wraps around the hips and features three self covered flat buttons at the back left. Ive used a shimmering brown decorative paper to stand in for the brown silk faille of the dress
