Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The short-sleeved white dress has a square neckline and a fitted bodice. The bodice features a panel of eyelet lace in the center with short sleeves that have ruffled edges and a narrow waistband made of the same lace. The skirt falls in soft folds and is made of thin, white-and-cream stripes with bands of eyelet lace. A wider band of lace is at the hem. The dress is titled "Dress" and the artist is unknown.
