Day Dress

Irene M. Burge

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a white dress. The dress features short, puffed sleeves that gather at the shoulder and taper slightly toward the end. The neckline is square and edged with delicate, scalloped trim. The bodice is fitted, with seams that accentuate its structured form, gently transitioning into a long flowing skirt. The skirt of the dress is adorned with a decorative pattern along the hem. The colors and shading give the dress a feminine and timeless charm, as well as a sense of lightness and innocence.
