The Dress by James T. Alexander features a full, pleated skirt that falls to the floor. The skirt is made of a cream-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of small blue flowers and green lines. A green and gold geometric design adorns the bottom hem and the sides of the skirt. The sleeves are long and slightly flared at the wrist. The bodice is fitted, with a high neckline and a row of buttons down the front. Green and gold embroidery trims the edges of the bodice. A white mannequin displays the dress. The background is a plain beige color.
