Wedding Dress

David P Willoughby

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The image features a detailed illustration of a long-sleeved, full-length dress with a high waist and a flowing skirt adorned with a floral pattern. The sleeves are slightly flared, and the bodice is fitted, leading into a pleated skirt. The dress has a modest neckline and a structured yet delicate appearance. To the top left of the main illustration, there is a simple outline sketch of the dress, suggesting its back view, displaying a high waistline and similar flowing characteristics. The drawing appears to be a fashion design sketch, focusing on an elegant and classic style of dress.
