Melita Hofmann

This is a drawing of a long-sleeved gown. The image depicts a detailed design sketch of an elegant, flowing garment with intricate lace detailing along its edges and delicate floral patterns across its fabric. The gown features a wide collar and slightly puffed sleeves. In the background, a simplified line drawing of the gown is included as a reference to showcase the back design, which appears to have pleats. The composition focuses on the textures and patterns of the dress.
