This is a drawing of an 18th-century style gown. The image depicts an elegant, long-sleeved dress in a blue fabric with intricate floral patterns. The bodice is fitted and cinched at the waist, extending into a full skirt that fans out. Translucent lace embellishes the cuffs and neckline. The skirt opens in the front to reveal an underdress in a contrasting light color with intricate quilting. The lack of a visible figure inside the dress emphasizes the garment, highlighting its design and craftsmanship.
