Dress

American

Not on view

A dress that seems to step out of a Jane Austen novel combines the champagne-light coloring of spring with cream netting that buttresses décolletage and sheathes the sleeves. Similarly, abstracted leaf forms at hem and neckline make a subdued version, suitable to the Regency epoch, of a floral transfiguration.
