EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length dress, created by Jessie M. Benge around 1936, showcases the elegance and grace of women's fashion during the 1930s and 1940s in America. The dress, depicted in this beautiful watercolour and graphite on paperboard artwork, features a vibrant green colour that pops against the neutral background. The puff sleeves, adorned with intricate detail and decorative stitching, add a touch of romance and femininity to the design. The dress's body is fitted at the waist, flaring out to a full skirt that gently sweeps the floor. This period item, with its timeless beauty, transports us back to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. The dress is currently housed in the Decorative Arts and Sculpture Gallery at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design. This artwork is a testament to Benge's skill as a fashion designer and artist, capturing the essence of women's apparel during this iconic decade in American history.
