About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long green dress with puffed sleeves. The dress has a high neckline and a simple belt at the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor-like shading. The name "Aude" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. If you like fashion sketches, look up womenswear to see how clothing designs have changed over time.
