Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white, short-sleeved dress. The dress is knee-length and made of a lightweight material, possibly cotton or silk. It has a square neckline and puffy sleeves that are gathered at the cap. There is a wide waistband with lace trim around the bodice. The skirt is gathered and falls in soft folds to the hem, which has horizontal stripes and lace trim. The dress appears to be a child's dress, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The background of the image is dark green. The dress is by the artist "Dress".
