About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black-and-white checkered dress. The top is short-sleeved and snug, while the skirt flares out wide, almost like a bell. She’s standing straight, one hand resting on her hip, with a small smile and a neat updo. The dress looks easy to move in, with clean lines and no fuss. The sketch includes a side view of the dress shape, showing how the fabric folds. Want to see more by this designer? Check out Carven.
