Dress

Dorothy Gernon

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an 18th-century dress. The dress features a full skirt with a floral pattern, a fitted bodice with decorative buttons down the front and a trim around the neckline and sleeves. The sleeves are three-quarter length with lace frills. The dress is characteristic of the Rococo period with pastel colors, floral detailing, and elaborate design. The style resembles a fashion illustration for garments of this era.
