Quaker Dress

Sara Garfinkel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The main dress depicted is a long, elegant garment featuring a high waistline and full skirt, crafted in a fabric with a subtle, muted purple hue. The dress has long sleeves and a V-neck that tapers elegantly to the waist. To the right, there is a sketch of the same dress showing a back view in a simplified outline, displaying details such as the back draping and probable fastening designs. This illustration serves as a fashion design sketch, emphasizing both the frontal aesthetic and structural components of the dress.
