This precise line drawing depicts a late-Victorian (c. 1895-1898) evening gown featuring a high ruffled neckline, dramatic leg-of-mutton sleeves with gathered cuffs, and a tightly fitted bodice cinched at the waist. The front view highlights a decorative sash and vertical floral trim along the skirt panels, while the back reveals a corset-style lacing system and draped overskirt. Fine cross-hatching renders fabric texture and volume, emphasizing the era’s emphasis on structured elegance and ornate detailing.
