EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length dress design by Jessie M. Benge, created around 1936, showcases the elegance and grace of women's fashion during the 1930s and 1940s in America. The dress is depicted in a watercolour and graphite rendering on paper, capturing every intricate detail of its design. The dress features a short-sleeved, V-neckline with a flared, A-line silhouette, accentuated by the delicate pleats and ruching at the waist. The dress is adorned with a decorative belt, adding an element of sophistication to the overall look. The color palette is soft and muted, with shades of beige, ivory, and blush pink, reflecting the classic and timeless aesthetic of the era. This dress was a staple in women's wardrobes during this period, as they embraced a more feminine and graceful silhouette, moving away from the more boxy and masculine styles of the 1920s. The dress is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, a collection dedicated to documenting American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Benge's design is a testament to the rich heritage of American fashion history and the artistry of the period.
