Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dress by artist unknown titled "Dress" is a white, long-sleeved gown with a floral pattern featuring small pink flowers. The dress has a fitted bodice with a V-neckline and ruffled trim around the neckline and sleeves. A gathered waistline accentuates the dress's full, tiered skirt, which consists of multiple layers of gathered fabric. The sleeves are long and puffy, with ruffles at the shoulders and cuffs. The dress appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly silk or cotton. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
