This is a drawing of a yellow dress next to a sketch. The drawing details a floor-length, off-the-shoulder dress with large puffed sleeves featuring a fitted bodice. The dress has a gentle yellow hue adorned with repeated floral motifs. To the right, there is a smaller line drawing that outlines the dress, highlighting its structure and design from a simplistic perspective. The drawing captures the intricate design and elegant form of the garment with an emphasis on its voluminous sleeves and rounded skirt.
