Sévillane is a 1958 by Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a voluminous black dress with a square neckline and puffy sleeves. The skirt flares wide, almost like a bell, and her pose is loose and confident. Next to her is a smaller drawing of just the dress’s back view, showing the same shape from behind. The sketch looks like quick, rough notes—maybe for a fashion design. The lines are simple but capture the dress’s big silhouette well. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.
