What kind of dress is the woman wearing in “The Dressing Table?  The painting by John Wilson.

The woman in “The Dressing Table” painting by John Wilson is wearing a style of dress that was popular in the 1920s. Flapper style dresses were popular in the 1920’s. The dress has a drop-waist, which means the waistline is lower than the natural waist and hangs loosely on the hips. The dress also has a straight fit, which means it does not hug the curves of the body. The dress is made of a light and delicate fabric, possibly silk or crepe de chine, and has a floral print. The dress has a large flower on the shoulder, which is a simple but elegant adornment. The dress is below-knee length, which was considered daring and modern at the time.
