The dress is a full, long skirted gown with a fitted bodice. The dress is striped with shades of beige, tan, and brown. The bodice is short sleeved with flared sleeves that have brown fringe around the edges. The skirt falls in multiple layers of gathered fabric. The dress appears to be made of a woven fabric, possibly cotton or silk. The dress is on a mannequin with a white headless body and white hands. The background is a plain gray color. The dress, called "Dress", is by an unknown artist.
