Dressing gown

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a blue dressing gown by artist Paul Poiret. The gown is made of a lightweight material and has a relaxed fit. It features long sleeves and a collarless neckline. The gown is primarily blue with embroidered designs around the collar, on the front, and on the cuffs of the sleeves. The embroidery is intricate and features a mix of pink, red, yellow and purple threads. There are three decorative ties down the front. The gown appears to be hanging on a white hanger against a plain background.
