One of his most iconic designs was the red jacket sported by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955). Mabry declared that his most difficult filmic assignment was the multiple costume changes required for Elizabeth Taylor in "Giant" (1956), which called for 42 changes of clothing.
Parmi ses créations notables, citons les costumes de James Dean pour La Fureur de vivre de Nicholas Ray (1955), ceux d'Elizabeth Taylor pour Géant de George Sidney (1956), ceux de Joan Crawford pour La Cage aux femmes d'Hall Bartlett (1963), les costumes masculins pour Madame Croque-maris de J. Lee Thompson (1965), les costumes — en association avec Dorothy Jeakins — pour Nos plus belles années de Sydney Pollack (1973, avec Barbra Streisand et Robert Redford), ou encore les robes de Lauren Bacall pour le western Le Dernier des géants de Don Siegel (1976).
Les deux derniers films auxquels il contribue sortent respectivement en 1987 et 1988. Et notons une prestation unique comme acteur (en plus de costumier) dans Alex in Wonderland de Paul Mazursky (1970, avec Donald Sutherland et Ellen Burstyn).
Durant sa carrière, il obtient quatre nominations à l'Oscar de la meilleure création de costumes, pour Géant, Madame Croque-maris et Nos plus belles années précités, ainsi que pour Morituri de Bernhard Wicki (1965, avec Marlon Brando et Yul Brynner).
Moss Mabry travaille également occasionnellement pour la télévision, sur trois téléfilms (1969, 1976 et 1987) et une série (1969).

The setting is the American West, late 19th century. A gang of bank robbers led by Graham Dorsey (Charles Bronson) is off to rob a small-town bank, but Graham is having second thoughts: he's had a nightmare in which the gang was wiped out during the robbery attempt. Worse, Graham's horse broke down and the gang members have to get another. They try at the ranch of the widow Amanda Starbuck (Jill Ireland). Amanda, suspicious of the men, denies having a horse. Graham checks out the barn and finds a horse, but still afraid of disaster, he lies to his men and agrees to wait three hours at the ranch for their return (the "from noon till three" of the title). It turns out he has another reason for wanting to stay behind though: he wants to force himself on Mrs. Starbuck. Amanda resists rather inventively; simply lies still, fully clothed. This frustrates Graham, who decides on a ruse. He pretends he is impotent, hoping to play on Amanda's sympathy. The deception works, and they make love three times.
