This is a drawing of a hoop skirt with delicate pleating and layered design. The drawing portrays a hoop skirt that features a flowing, voluminous silhouette typical of mid-19th century fashion. The garment includes intricate pleating at regular intervals along the skirt. The lines are finely rendered, emphasizing the fabric's texture and the flowing nature of the design. The waistline is gathered, cascading down to create its characteristic wide, dome-shaped form.
