Wedding Dress

Mary E. Humes

This is a drawing of a long dress with long sleeves, featuring a fitted bodice extending into a voluminous skirt. The dress has a central opening adorned with decorative trim running from the neckline to the hem. The fabric flows gracefully, indicated by shading used in the illustration. The style suggests a historical or theatrical costume design, with attention to the garment's structure and embellishments.
