Dress c. 1936

Virginia Berge’s “Dress” (c. 1936) is a detailed fashion illustration of a purple dress with a white lace collar and elaborate embellishments. Berge, a prolific artist known for her fashion sketches, captures the elegance of the dress in its flowing lines and meticulous detailing. The dress’s fitted bodice and full skirt, typical of fashion in the 1930s, suggests the period’s emphasis on femininity and grace. This drawing is a testament to Berge’s skill in translating the artistry of dressmaking into a captivating work of art.
