Evening dress

House of Worth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a House of Worth evening dress on a white mannequin. The dress has a white bodice with black floral designs and a gold skirt. The bodice is off-the-shoulder with white lace trim around the top and a large white bow on the right shoulder. A long train extends from the back of the dress, featuring the same black floral designs as the bodice. The skirt appears to be made of a shiny, pleated material. The background consists of a white sheet or curtain that is draped and wrinkled. The dress is positioned on a white sheet or fabric that covers the floor.
