About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress. The top is a solid peach color with thin black lines down the front, while the skirt is sheer with a pattern of tiny white shapes—maybe flowers or dots. She wears a wide-brimmed hat with a yellow circle on the front and two dangling earrings. The lines are loose but confident, like a quick sketch. The name "Lynium" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. The drawing feels modern and clean, focusing on shape and fabric over detail. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches like this.
