Wedding Dress

Nancy Crimi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing features a full-length dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. Delicate lace or ruffles adorn the edges of the collar, cuffs, and the lower part of the skirt. The design emphasizes elegance with its fitted bodice and voluminous skirt that flows outward. The intricate details like the textured patterns on the sleeves and the tiered ruffles at the bottom of the skirt suggest a garment that is both stylish and sophisticated. In the background, there is an additional smaller sketch showing the back of the dress, further detailing the dress's style and structure. The drawing captures the essence of classic fashion design and showcases meticulous attention to detail.
