Dancer's Skirt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The skirt, titled "Dancer's Skirt," has a waistband at the top that is light-colored and folded over. Two small buttons are visible on the right side of the waistband. The skirt itself is pleated and features various panels of fabric with different patterns, including stripes and floral designs. A large black panel with a lighter-colored border is centered on the skirt, flanked by narrower panels with similar patterns. The bottom of the skirt has a decorative border. The skirt appears to be knee-length. The background of the image is light gray.
