Artist, American, active c. 1935

This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing features a full-length, high-necked dress with long sleeves and a series of buttons running down the front. The skirt is full and falls to the floor with a hemline detail. The dress has structured shoulders with some detailing. Next to the main illustration, a smaller sketch shows the dress from the back, illustrating its gathered design and seam lines that contribute to its silhouette. The artist’s signature appears at the bottom right corner. The lines are clean and precise, typical of technical fashion drawings used for tailoring and dressmaking.
