About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress covered in white flower shapes. The bodice is strapless and made of overlapping petals, while the skirt flares out with a train of leaves and more flowers. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a simple necklace. The dress looks like it’s made of fabric but also like a bouquet—almost like the woman is wearing a giant bouquet of flowers. The artist signed it "Liseron," which is also the name of a type of flower. If you like this floral style, check out Carven for more dress designs inspired by nature.
