This is a drawing of a skirt with floral patterns. The garment features lace designs with dark floral motifs adorning the lower hem and scattered throughout the fabric. The skirt is gathered at the top, suggesting a waistline, and is complemented by a large ribbon or sash in a contrasting light color. The attention to detail in the lace pattern and the play of light and shadow create a sense of texture and delicacy. The drawing exudes a sense of vintage fashion.
