About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with bold blue and purple patterns. The dress has a fitted top and a wide, flared skirt that moves outward. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The word "Retour Toile" is written in the corner, which might mean this is a design draft. The smaller drawing below shows a simpler version of the same dress, maybe an earlier idea. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
