Fiançailles is a 1952 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a floral print. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she’s holding her elbow with one hand. Next to her is a simpler dress drawing, almost like a coat with a high collar. The lines are quick and loose, with light shading. The word *Fiançailles* means “engagement” in French, hinting this might be a wedding dress sketch. The artist focused on the dress shapes first, leaving details rough.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
