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, titled "Dress, c. 1936," showcases the elegance and intricacy of women's clothing during this time period. The design features a peach-colored gown with decorative cuffs and a bustle at the back, accentuated by pleats and pleats, giving the dress a voluminous yet graceful appearance. The use of watercolor, graphite, and gouache adds a delicate and textured quality to the piece, making it a true work of art. The dress is a testament to the rich fashion heritage of the United States during the 20th century. It reflects the influence of the 1930s and 1940s, a time when women's clothing was characterized by full skirts, bustles, and intricate details. The dress is a period item that transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era. This dress design is part of the Index of American Design, a collection of American decorative arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

The dress is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion trends and styles of the 1930s and 1940s in America.
