Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dress "Dress" by an unknown artist is a long, cream-colored garment. The dress has a square neckline and short, puffy sleeves. A fitted bodice with a ruched center front and a low-backed design leads to a full skirt that falls to the floor. The dress appears to be made of a textured fabric, possibly silk or satin, with a subtle pattern. Long, white gloves are worn on both hands. The mannequin wears white shoes with a low heel. The background is a gradient gray color.
