This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a long, flowing dress with a high neckline and thin straps. The dress has a wide, flat bottom and a small band of floral embroidery near the hem. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and the lines are simple but confident. The drawing looks like it was done quickly, with loose strokes and minimal shading. The focus is on the shape of the dress and the figure’s posture. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches like this one.
