About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a bold pattern of brown and blue splashes on a light background. She’s standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding her hair back. The name *Opaline* is scrawled in the corner, maybe for the dress or the design. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel quick and experimental. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, check out Carven.
