This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing shows a dress with a full, flowing skirt and long sleeves. The fabric is intricately patterned with a floral or lace-like design in shades of red, black, and hints of green. The dress has a fitted bodice to accentuate the waistline. There is an additional sketch showing the back view of the dress in simpler outline form. The focus is on the elegance and intricacy of the period-style fashion design.
