Evening ensemble

Jeanne Hallée

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts an evening ensemble by Jeanne Hallée. The dress is on a headless, armless mannequin. The dress is a peach color with gold floral embroidery. The dress has a full skirt that falls to the floor and a train in the back. The bodice is fitted, with a low neckline and short, ruffled sleeves on one side, while the other side has a large floral arrangement. The dress has a corset-style top with a gathered bust. The background is a plain gray color with shadows cast by the dress and mannequin.
