1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Acidulée is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, mid-length dress with bright, polka-dot fabric—pink, blue, and green spots on a dark background. The dress has short sleeves and a fitted waist, paired with a matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. To the right, there’s a basic outline of the dress itself, like a flat pattern. The word *Acidulée* is scrawled in the corner—it might mean something about the design. The sketch feels quick and practical, like a draft for a real outfit. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1950s for more details.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
