This is a drawing of a bodice design. The illustration features a structured bodice with an off-the-shoulder neckline, adorned with a plaid pattern in shades of green, blue, and white. The bodice forms a V-shape at the waist, transitioning into a wide, flowing skirt that is only suggested in outline. There is a smaller sketch in the top right corner that provides an alternate view or detail of the garment's design, focusing on the structure of the bodice. The drawing emphasizes the aesthetic and functional elements of the garment design with clean lines and precise construction.
