Evening dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black evening dress with short, ruffled sleeves and a V-neckline. The dress is made of a sheer, layered fabric with floral embroidery in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and green. The bodice is fitted and adorned with beading and embroidery around the neckline and down the center front. The skirt is full and falls in layers of sheer fabric, each layer featuring the same floral embroidery as the bodice. The dress appears to be made by Paquin.
