Dress

Jessie M. Benge

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a formal dress design. The drawing features a detailed design of a gown with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt, decorated with floral embroidery along the neckline and skirt. There is a sheer, embroidered fabric draped over one shoulder. The dress design is outlined in soft lines, with delicate shading suggesting a light color scheme. In the background, a smaller sketch outlines the gown's back.
