Description of a Girl's Dress

Nancy Crimi

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a handwritten instruction sheet. The image contains neatly written text on a light-colored paper, detailing a series of sewing instructions and measurements for garment construction. It includes specific notes on parts of a jacket, such as seams, sleeves, and collar, with marked sections and encircling lines for emphasis. Each part is systematically described, including materials and techniques to be used, such as bias pieces and double notching. The handwriting is clear and legible, with each line contributing to the overall guide for assembling the piece of clothing.
