Dress

Catherine Fowler

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a Victorian-era dress design. The drawing shows an elaborate, layered dress with intricate details. The dress has a high neckline and long sleeves with vertical patterns on the sleeves and bodice. The skirt is full and tiered, embellished with lace and possibly embroidery. On the right, there is an overlay of a different perspective or additional detail of the back of the upper garment, focusing on its decorative elements and construction. This drawing likely served as a design plan, showcasing both front and back views.
