Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden brown dress with a fitted bodice and full skirt, featuring a high neckline and long sleeves. The bodice has a beige lace trim around the collar and on the sleeves. The dress appears to be made of a textured fabric, possibly silk or satin, with a subtle plaid pattern. The skirt is gathered at the waist and falls in folds to the floor. A beige lining is visible on the inside of the sleeves. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with a headless, armless, and legless form. The background is a plain white wall. The dress is titled "Dress" and is by an unnamed artist.
