About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose dress with a dark pattern of small shapes. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the dress flares slightly at the bottom. The drawing is simple, with quick lines and no background. The name *Derviche* is written in the corner, which might hint at the style’s influence. The loose, flowing dress looks easy to move in, which was important in fashion design. Want to see more? Look up Carven for other designs like this one.
