Afternoon dress
The image shows a long, full dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The dress is dark green with a floral pattern featuring red, yellow, and green flowers. The bodice has long sleeves and a high neckline. There are two rows of decorative trim across the chest and around the elbow area of the sleeves. The waist is narrow and defined. The skirt falls in soft folds to the floor. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with white hands placed at the waist. The background is a plain off-white color. The dress appears to be an example of an afternoon dress by an unknown artist.
