The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored dress with floral pattern, short sleeves, and full skirt. The dress has a fitted bodice with a low neckline and short, fringed sleeves. The skirt is full and flared, with a subtle sheen to the fabric. The dress appears to be made of a shiny material, possibly silk or satin, with a raised floral pattern in a lighter shade of gold. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with no head or feet. The background is a plain off-white color. "Dress" by an unknown artist.
