EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length dress, created by American artist Jessie M. Benge around 1939, showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The dress, rendered in watercolour, graphite, and pen and ink on paper, features a flared silhouette with a floral motif that adds a touch of femininity and charm. The burgundy colour, a popular choice during this period, exudes an air of sophistication and glamour. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns that cover the entire length of the garment, from the fitted bodice to the voluminous skirt. The sleeves, which are also decorated with the same floral motifs, add a delicate and feminine touch to the design. The dress is a testament to the artistry and skill of Benge, who masterfully captures the essence of the era through her use of colour, pattern, and form. This dress is an important piece of American decorative arts and fashion history, reflecting the trends and styles of the time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, art, or American culture. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where this dress is housed, is an excellent resource for those seeking to explore the rich heritage of American art and design.
