This stunning full-length dress design by Jessie M. Benge, titled "Dress, 1935/1942," showcases the elegant transition between two iconic decades of American fashion. The intricately detailed watercolor, graphite pen, and ink drawing on paper, with a predominantly green color palette, captures the essence of the 1930s and 1940s in a single masterpiece. The dress is adorned with an elaborate bustle, creating a voluminous silhouette, while the bodice features a fitted waist and a high neckline, typical of the 1930s. The 1940s influence is evident in the pleated skirt, which adds a modern touch to the traditional design. The dress is further embellished with decorative details, such as intricate patterns and textures, adding to its allure. Benge's use of color adds depth and dimension to the piece, with the green hue dominating the design. The dress is a testament to the artist's skillful use of various mediums and her ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. The dress is a significant addition to the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and serves as a reminder of the rich fashion history of the United States. This period item, with its conceptual beauty and intricate detail, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American apparel and design. The dress is a visual representation of the evolution of women's fashion during the 1930s and 1940s and is a true masterpiece of the decorative arts.
