Evening Dress

Sylvia Dezon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress. The dress has a high waistline, short lace-accented sleeves, and a long flowing skirt that reaches the floor. The gown is decorated with intricate details, such as diamond-like shapes along the seams, lacework at the hem, and floral elements. The fabric is depicted with shading and fine lines to provide texture and depth. A simplified sketch of the dress is shown to the right.
