This is a drawing of a dress design. The image depicts a long coat-style dress with a double-breasted front and button detailing. The dress has a high collar and is adorned with symmetrical horizontal bands of darker fabric at the cuffs and the pocket flaps. The buttons are large and round. Additionally, there is a smaller sketch of the dress from a rear angle, emphasizing the detailing on the back, such as the fit and fall of the fabric.
