Dress

Edith Miller

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a patterned dress design. The image features a long, flowing dress with intricate patterns consisting of small, repetitive shapes in a light brown color with darker accents. The dress includes a high collar, long sleeves, and a fitted waist, emphasizing a voluminous skirt. To the left is a small swatch of the fabric pattern in a grid layout, similar to that of the dress. On the right are additional sketches showing details of the dress, including a close-up of the bodice and skirt section, which highlight the lace or decorative trim at the edges. The background is neutral.
