Woman's Wedding Skirt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a woman's wedding skirt. The skirt is made of semi-sheer fabric with floral pattern, featuring three vertical panels adorned with lace and embroidery. A wide white waistband with small pin holes sits at the top, while a decorative border runs along the bottom hem. The skirt appears to be knee-length and flared. The background is a plain light-gray surface.
