Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dress is a long, off-white garment with a low neckline and long sleeves. The dress has a fitted bodice with a gathered skirt that falls in folds to the floor. The fabric features a subtle pattern of thin stripes and small dots. The sleeves are three-quarter length with a slight puff at the shoulder. The dress appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly silk or cotton. It is displayed on a white mannequin with a headless, armless upper body and hands. The background of the image is a plain off-white color. The dress is attributed to the artist unknown, with the title "Dress".
