Melita Hofmann

This is a drawing of a dress. The artwork depicts an ornate 19th-century style dress with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress features a horizontal striped pattern alternating between pale colors and floral designs. Teal bands are visible across the shoulders and sleeves, as well as teal accents on the cuffs. Puffy sleeves transition into tighter teal sections. A faint sketch of a dress form is included beside the dress.
