Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dress by Jean Patou is a long, floor-length gown made of brown and black floral patterned fabric. The dress has long sleeves and a fitted bodice with a low back. A pale pink lining is visible through the back opening. The skirt is full and flared, with a subtle sheen to the fabric. The dress appears to be made of a heavy, possibly silk or satin material. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin.
