About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple pose, arms slightly out. She’s wearing a sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The skirt has bold, uneven floral shapes in orange, yellow, and black. Her belt is narrow and sits low on her hips. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric and movement. The bright colors pop against the plain background, making the dress look lively. Next, look up the artist: Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
