Chemise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White short-sleeved chemise dress by artist, displayed on a mannequin. The dress has a square neckline with a decorative trim, gathered at the top, and a front seam down the center. The dress is made of a lightweight fabric, possibly cotton or linen, and appears to be a simple, loose-fitting design. The mannequin is a light beige color with a metal ring around the neck and a small, round knob on top. The background is a plain white wall.
