EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage dress, created by the renowned American artist Winifred Gibbes in the early 1940s, is a beautiful example of women's fashion from the era. The dress, depicted in this exquisite watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paperboard, showcases the elegant and timeless design that defined the 1930s and 1940s. The dress features a high collar, a popular trend during this period, and puff sleeves that add a playful and feminine touch. The tri-color scheme, with its combination of green, green color, and a hint of another hue, adds depth and dimension to the piece. The collar and sleeves are adorned with intricate decorative trim, adding an extra layer of visual interest. The fabric of the dress, not visible in this drawing, would have been an important aspect of the design. Gibbes' use of color and texture in her artwork suggests that the dress would have been made of a rich, luxurious material, perhaps satin or velvet, that would have draped gracefully over the body. This dress is a significant addition to the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which documents and preserves the decorative arts and fashion of the United States from the Colonial period to the present day. The dress is a testament to the creativity and innovation of American designers during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when fashion was an essential expression of national identity and heritage.
