Acapulco Lycra is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Floral Pattern, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman wearing a bright green headpiece and a sleeveless dress covered in bold, multicolored flowers. The lines are loose and quick, with flat colors filling in the shapes. To the right, a simpler outline of a woman in a plain dress is drawn in pencil. The words *"Acapulco—Lyra"* are scrawled in the corner, hinting at a connection to music or a place. The floral dress looks like it’s made of stretchy fabric, maybe inspired by swimwear or dancewear.
