Evening dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Evening dress" by an unknown artist features a light green dress with a floral pattern. The dress has short sleeves with gold fringe trim at the ends. The floral pattern on the dress includes red, orange, yellow, and blue flowers with green leaves. The dress is full and flared, with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt that falls in pleats from the waist. The dress appears to be made of a smooth fabric, possibly silk or satin, and is displayed on a plain white background.
