About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, draped dress with a high waist and a long, flowing skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The lines are simple and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The small drawing in the corner looks like a flat version of the dress, maybe a pattern or a quick note for the designer. The whole sketch feels like a fast, rough idea rather than a finished drawing. If you like this style of fashion drawing, check out Carven.

Carven

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