EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard dress design is a captivating example of American fashion from the 1930s and 1940s, created by the talented artist Jessie M. Benge. The dress, dated approximately to 1936, showcases a floral design with intricate details that reflect the decorative arts of the era. The short-sleeved gown features a vibrant color palette, with hues of pink, green, and blue that evoke a sense of freshness and femininity. The dress is adorned with delicate floral patterns, creating a beautiful contrast against the solid background. Benge's attention to detail is evident in the way the fabric appears to drape and flow, giving the impression of a real garment. The dress is also a testament to the period's fashion trends, showcasing the short sleeves and full length that were popular during the thirties and forties. The dress is a significant piece of American heritage art, and its inclusion in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., underscores its historical significance. This dress is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion, art, or American history, and a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past.
