Dress Pattern

Emery Herrett

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sewing pattern with various labeled pattern pieces for garment construction. The pieces include shapes for sleeves, bodice fronts, collars, and other parts. Additional sketches of a bow and a flower-like embellishment are included, along with written instructions and annotations. The lines are precise and technical, creating a blueprint for garment construction. Faint text beneath the illustrations provides further instructions or notes for sewing or cutting fabric.
