Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a full-length, strapless dress. The dress is made of lightweight, semi-sheer fabric and is a light beige color. It features a gathered waist and a decorative trim along the bottom hem. The dress appears to be knee-length or longer. It has no sleeves or straps; instead, there are short, folded pieces of fabric on either side at the top, positioned where straps would typically be. The background of the image is white. The dress is titled "Dress" by the artist.
