About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark, checkered dress with a flared skirt and long sleeves. She’s holding a small bag, wearing low heels, and has a short bob haircut. The dress is drawn twice—once as a flat pattern and once on her body. The title *La belle cycliste* hints this outfit might be for cycling, though it looks more like everyday wear. The loose fit and practical details suggest it’s designed for movement. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion-forward designs.
