Dress

This is a drawing of a historical dress design. The image depicts a full-length dress with intricate details and pleats. The main dress is rendered in a soft peach or beige tone, featuring a fitted bodice with a row of buttons down the front. The sleeves are long, and the skirt is voluminous, embellished with detailed pleats and gathered fabric, particularly noticeable at the sides. In the upper right corner of the image, there is a smaller pencil sketch of the same dress viewed from the back, highlighting the bustle and gathered folds. The drawing combines both colored and pencil elements.
