Fashion treasures hidden in an Irish castle attic for decades are getting a rare moment in the spotlight. Birr Castle is displaying seven dresses created by legendary designer Charles James for Anne, Countess of Rosse, one of his earliest supporters and a familiar figure in the creative circles of 1930s London and Paris. The carefully preserved collection includes the dramatic Coq Noir evening gown and a surprisingly practical terry-cloth dress made for Anne’s year-long honeymoon, with some pieces still accompanied by handwritten notes. Historic clothes are too fragile for permanent display, so for a few days visitors can see what normally stays inside the boxes - a glamorous little time capsule from the 1930s.
