This is a drawing of a long Victorian-style dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The dress features a vertically striped pattern in shades of blue and white with buttons running down the front, ornate ruffled detailing along the button line, sleeve cuffs, and bottom hem. An illustration of the back of the dress shows a long flow, giving a sense of elegance and volume to the garment. The artist uses fine lines to create the pattern and the details of the fabric, giving the drawing a delicate and precise appearance.
