Wedding Dress

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing depicts a long dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline, short sleeves with subtle horizontal stripes, a fitted bodice with a gathered or pleated appearance, and a flowing full skirt. The skirt has layered accents towards the hem, with several horizontal bands or layers of fabric. A smaller, less detailed sketch of the back of the dress is included to emphasize the silhouette. The drawing is rendered in soft hues of beige and light brown, with a minimalist background.
