EDITORS COMMENTS
Evelyn Bailey's exquisite pen and ink drawing, titled "Chemise," transports us back to the fashionable 1930s in America. This elegant and intricately detailed artwork, created in 1936, showcases a classic chemise dress that was a popular choice during this period. The dress, with its simple yet sophisticated design, is depicted in soft, muted colors, reflecting the understated elegance of the era. The chemise dress, a loose-fitting, long-sleeved garment, was a staple in women's wardrobes during the 1930s. Its timeless design, which emphasized comfort and grace, made it a versatile piece that could be dressed up or down for various occasions. Evelyn Bailey's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate folds of the fabric, the intricate pattern on the hem, and the delicate lace trim. Her use of pen and ink on paper adds a sense of depth and texture to the drawing, making it a true work of art. This artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American fashion during the 1930s. It is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The chemise dress, as depicted in Bailey's drawing, continues to inspire fashion designers and enthusiasts alike, reminding us of the enduring beauty and elegance of this iconic piece of clothing.
