The image shows a short-sleeved, knee-length dress on a tan mannequin. The dress is cream-colored with small, repeating red and gray designs. It has a square neckline and a fitted bodice with gathered fabric at the top. The sleeves are short and puffy. The skirt falls just above the knee and is gathered at the waist. A black number "5" is written on the mannequin's neck. The background is a wrinkled white sheet or curtain.
