Afternoon Dress c. 1940

"Afternoon Dress" is a watercolor painting by Nancy Crimi, created around 1940. It depicts a long, elegant dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The dress is made of a pale blue fabric that appears to be silky or satin, and is trimmed with a white lace collar. This detailed depiction of a fashionable dress from the early 20th century is a fine example of fashion illustration, a popular genre of art that has documented changing styles throughout history.
