John Singer Sargent, Madame X (1883-84) The subject of John Singer Sargent's (1856-1925) Madame X seems to be sporting an early version of the little black dress

It was there that she learned to sew as well as appreciate the classic pairing of black and white as worn by the nuns

The waist appears so small through optical illusion: the very wide skirt and the bodice that is padded and cut to enhance the shoulders by big sleeves, ruffles and a wide neckline form a contrast to the waist that makes it appear smaller than it actually is

Care Instructions: Machine Wash, Tumble Dry Low
