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 detail and vibrant colors, reflecting the decorative arts movement of the era. The short-sleeved gown features a feminine silhouette, with a graceful A-line skirt and a fitted bodice that accentuates the waist. The dress is adorned with delicate floral patterns, rendered in rich hues of pink, red, and green, creating an ethereal and romantic effect. The sleeves are short and simple, adding to the overall elegance and sophistication of the design. This beautiful piece of art is a testament to the rich heritage of American fashion during the 20th century and serves as an important addition to any collection of decorative arts or fashion clothing. The dress is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American apparel and design.
