About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple dress with short sleeves and a flared skirt. She stands with her hands resting on her hips, wearing low-heeled shoes. To her left, a flat drawing of the same dress hangs, showing its bow at the neckline. The drawing uses bold black lines and light shading to keep it clean and modern. The woman’s pose is confident, with one leg slightly forward. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more of her fashion sketches.
