Evening dress

House of Worth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, red velvet dress on a white mannequin. The dress has a cream-colored lace bodice with a low neckline and short, puffy sleeves. The lace is intricate and covers the top portion of the dress, extending from the neckline to the waist. The sleeves are made of red velvet, matching the rest of the dress, and have a gathered, puffy effect at the top. The skirt falls in soft folds to the floor, made of the same rich, dark red velvet. The dress appears to be an evening gown and is by House of Worth.
