The image shows a cream-colored dress with short sleeves and a full skirt. The dress is made of a lightweight fabric, possibly cotton or linen. The bodice has a square neckline with lace trim along the top edge. There are two rows of lace trim on the sleeves, which are approximately one-third of the way down from the shoulder. The bodice is fitted at the waist and has a panel of gathered fabric down the center front. There are two long panels of lace on either side of the center front panel. The skirt falls just below the knee and has several layers of gathered fabric, giving it a full and flared shape. There are two horizontal bands of lace trim around the hem of the skirt, one near the top and one near the bottom. The background of the image is black. The dress appears to be a vintage or antique piece, possibly from the early 20th century. The dress is by the artist titled "Dress".
