Bavaroise 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 loose, flowing dress with three layered skirts in soft pink and white. Her arms are stretched out, and she’s wearing low heels. The fabric looks light and airy, almost like it’s moving. In the corner, there’s a small flat drawing of the dress from the front, showing how it’s made. The name “Bavaroise” is written in the top right corner—maybe it’s the dress style or a code for the design. The artist used quick, confident lines and light shading to show the fabric’s texture. If you like this sketch, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
