Lillian Causey

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a historical garment design. The drawing features an elaborately detailed dress with long sleeves and a series of buttons running down the chest to the waistline. The dress appears to be made of a lush, heavy fabric with gentle folds, suggesting a formal garment. To the left, there is an inset featuring a close-up of a garment's inside seam and sleeve detail, showcasing the construction and stitching techniques used. To the right, there is a faint pencil outline of the back view of the dress. The drawing is signed by Lillian Causey in the bottom right corner.
