Description

Dress from the cover of her 1977 double album Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter

Black dress worn by Mitchell on the cover of her 1977 album Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter, as well as on both inner sleeves of the album. Black dress with gold highlights has a Janice Wainwright maker’s label sewn inside collar, and features short sleeves and an elastic waist. Accompanied by a copy of the album, an Asylum Records publicity photo of Mitchell in the dress, and a letter of authenticity from Jimmy Bangley, former manager of A Star Is Worn. In fine condition. The black dress was highlighted for the cover after Mitchell and the photographer noticed a postcard of a nude female with a Mickey Mouse hat and balloons on a nearby bulletin board. The design was worked onto the dress with several birds added to partially obscure the pubic area, as well as Mickey Mouse, done for obvious legal reasons. RR Auction COA.
