This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing features a full-length evening gown with a fitted bodice and an extravagant skirt. The bodice is colored in a deep teal shade and has a sweetheart neckline with off-the-shoulder sleeves. The sketch includes both a front view and a smaller back view of the dress. The skirt, outlined in pencil, suggests volume typical of a ball gown. Delicate lines and color in the drawing emphasize the design's elegance and structure.
