Dress #115: Charles James ‘Balloon’ at-home dress Penguin Glass beads decorate the skirtThis hand stitched paper dress is based on the Balloon at home dress in black silk faille, created by Charles James in ca. 1956; the original is held by Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession 2013. 327). Charles James used the balloon shape in a number of designs, including evening dresses, an opera coat, and a maternity dress created for retailer Lane Bryant. Charles James is considered by the Met to be the only American to work in the true couture
