Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cream-colored dress with long sleeves and a round neckline. The dress is made of a lightweight fabric. There are multiple rows of circular lace trim running down the front, around the hem, and on the cuffs. The lace is a slightly darker shade of cream than the dress itself. The lace trim is scalloped at the edges. The dress has a flared skirt that falls just above the knee. The background of the image is solid black. The dress is by artist Clare Boothe Luce. The dress is titled "Dress".
