Dress #112: Charles James dinner dress in shimmering brown Armadillo stitched by hand on 5x7This 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
