Blue all-over drawing with arms raised

The pale long front combines blue floral forms and pale angular routes across a larger patterned surface. Broader straps lead towards a deeper V-shaped drawn edge, with finer ground higher before the chest. A narrow blue band divides the waist. The skirt extends broadly towards the floor, concealing shoes. Both arms are raised and both hands lie near the head. Head and face are included, with hair taken up. The photograph does not supply the corresponding own rear or a normal front with arms lowered.

Follow the floral routes separately from the pale angular drawing. Neither their colour nor shape identifies fibre, a particular lace technique or handwork. The finer upper surface also does not reveal every underlying layer. Ask about the actual textile rather than classifying it from this view.

Request the same offered model with relaxed arms and intended underwear. Add its own side, rear and complete length with your shoes. Inspect the upper frame again after ordinary movements before discussing changes to the real piece.
