Dress

Julie C. Brush

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a historical gown. The gown features an elegant, long dress with a fitted bodice and voluminous skirt. There are detailed trims along the neckline, front, and sleeve cuffs, suggesting intricate lace or embroidery work. The skirt appears to have pleats or gathers, and the design shows it is meant to be worn over a petticoat or underskirt. The lines are clean and precise, emphasizing the garment’s structured yet graceful silhouette.
