Morning Dress

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a high collar. The dress features multiple large bows and button detailing down the front. The primary colors are a soft, cream background with a floral pattern, accented by vibrant green bows and trim. The dress is centrally positioned, with the skirt cascading to the lower right. The bodice appears upright with folded sleeves, and the hem of the dress includes a ruffled detail. The green accents are strategically placed at the collar, lapels, waist, and lower section.
