Underdress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The garment "Underdress" by the artist is a long, cream-colored, kimono-style robe made of a textured fabric. The robe has a V-shaped neckline and wide, flared sleeves. It appears to be open at the front with no visible fastenings, and its hem is not sharply defined, giving it a relaxed fit. The robe is displayed on a wooden dress form with a metal pole base and a small, rounded knob at the top of the head. The dress form has black printed text on its neck. The background is a plain off-white color.
