1958
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Beaugency 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, sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The fabric has a mix of light brown and cream colors, with a subtle pattern that looks like brushstrokes or watercolor splashes. Below her, two smaller sketches show the dress from the front and back, focusing on the skirt’s shape. The artist signed it "Beaugency" in the corner, and the drawing feels quick and free, like a first idea rather than a finished design. The loose lines make the dress look light and easy to move in.
