This is a drawing of a child's dress. The image features a detailed drawing of a long-sleeved dress with a high collar and puffed shoulders that taper down into fitted sleeves. The dress has a soft checkered pattern in muted tones and decorative floral patterns at the waist, neckline, and hem of the skirt in pastel colors. There is also a simpler line sketch of the dress to the right. Shading techniques are used to suggest fabric weight and movement.
