This image is a
vintage fashion illustration of an elegant evening gown, characteristic of designs from the 1930s or 1940s.
Details of the Illustration
Style: The illustration showcases the silhouette popular in the era, which emphasized a narrow waist and flowing, draped fabric.
Garment Description: The subject is wearing a form-fitting, bias-cut white or cream-colored gown with a strapless bodice and a low back. It features a hand-painted or appliquéd leaf pattern in brown/rust tones down one side.
Accessories: The look is completed with a draped, flowing shawl in a pale yellow or gold color, blue and gold earrings, a matching choker, and a wide cuff bracelet.
Artistic Style: The drawing uses mixed media, likely pencil and watercolor or gouache, which was a common technique for fashion and costume designers of the period.
The illustration appears to be an original design sketch rather than a reproduction from a magazine, as similar examples often surface in auctions and museum collections, sometimes attributed to specific designers like Edith Head or Christian Bérard |
