Black dress with long sleeves and a full, tiered skirt. The dress has a fitted bodice with a high neckline and a decorative collar. The sleeves are long and have fringe at the ends. The skirt is made up of multiple layers of fabric, each layer slightly shorter than the one below it, creating a tiered effect. The dress appears to be made of a shiny fabric, possibly silk or satin, and has a subtle pattern of horizontal stripes. A mannequin wearing the dress is shown from the side, with its head turned to the right. The mannequin has a low bun and a white glove on its left hand. The background is white with shadows cast by the dress and mannequin. The dress is by the artist Charles Frederick Worth. The title of the dress is "Dress".
