Boy's Suit

Dorothy Gernon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a blue ballet costume with black embellishments on the fitted bodice and a decorative pattern on the chest. The outfit includes covered shoulders and arms, a white frilled collar, and puffy off-white trousers that narrow at the ankles. The style of the illustration conveys attention to detail in fashion or costume design.
