The dress is a long, off-white garment with a square neckline. The bodice is fitted and features ruffles around the top. Long sleeves are present, also with ruffles at the cuffs. A short, pleated section is visible under the bodice. The skirt is full and features multiple layers of ruffles. The dress appears to be made of a lightweight fabric such as silk or cotton. The dress is displayed on a headless, white mannequin with white hands. The background is a plain gray color. The dress is titled "Dress" and attributed to an unspecified artist.
