Description

Carol Burnett Red Beaded Curtain Call Ensemble by Bob Mackie from The Carol Burnett Show (CBS, 1967-1978). Vintage original ensemble including a red wool jacket with short standing collar, silver bugle bead and black velvet trim, and zipper front closure with a matching pencil skirt with grosgrain ribbon waist, high back slit, and zipper back closure. A Bob Mackie design, constructed by Elizabeth Courtney design house. Carol Burnett has said of Mackie, "I don't think there is anyone in the history of costume design who could do what Bob did, and continues to do." This ensemble was worn during her audience curtain call when she famously tugged on her ear. The jacket retains an internal Elizabeth Courtney bias label, both pieces with internal handwritten notation, "CB-EC2". Acquired from the costume designer, Bob Mackie. It exhibits production wear commensurate with age with minor spot soiling and some missing beading, skirt exhibits some surface wear above back slit and a small repair. In Very Good to Fine condition.
