This is a drawing of a dress design. The image features a garment sketch consisting of a long dress and a dark purple bolero jacket with detailed embroidery. The jacket has a sash hanging down the front with tassels at the ends. Below this jacket, the outline of a floor-length dress is sketched. In the top right corner, a smaller sketch of the back view of the jacket is presented, showing its cut and the continuation of the embellishment around its edges. The drawing emphasizes the combination of rich color and delicate embroidery on the jacket.
