'Aurora' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing evening gown. The dress has a fitted bodice with thin straps, a sweetheart neckline, and a wide skirt with vertical stripes. The colors are soft—pink, gray, and beige—with a few pink flowers near the waist. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest fabric and movement. The name *Aurora* is signed in the corner, but we don’t know why yet. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
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.
