Christening Robe

Ella Josephine Sterling

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of garment designs. The artwork displays a full-length dress with lace and embroidery details and measurements such as sleeve length, yoke, and skirt length. Beside the dress, there are three rectangular sections with different lace patterns with floral motifs, each labeled with dimensions. A smaller drawing at the bottom shows a close-up of the top part of the dress with short puffed sleeves. The detailed renderings suggest a focus on fashion design and garment construction precision.
