Design for a full-length, body-hugging white evening dress, shown in two views. On the first plane, on the center of the sheet, the female wearer of the dress is depicted on right profile, with the dress worn under a white shawl, both decorated with ribbons and bows, and one of the edges of the shawl hanging behind her back. On the second plane, a left three-quarter view of the dress is shown, with the shawl covering the head this ime. On the left border of the sheet is a cream-colored column with a red curtain tied to the upper corner.
