Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a short-sleeved, knee-length dress titled "Dress" by an unidentified artist. The dress is made of cream-colored fabric, possibly cotton or linen. The dress has a square neckline and puffy sleeves that are gathered at the cap. There is a thin white belt around the waist. The dress has a gathered skirt that falls just above the knee. The dress features three horizontal rows of lace trim, one near the bottom hem and two more spaced evenly apart above it. A vertical strip of lace trim runs down the center front of the dress, from the waist to the hem. The background of the image is black.
