About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted dress with a deep V-neck and long sleeves. The dress has a bold floral pattern in browns and creams, paired with a high-waisted skirt that flares slightly. Her hair is styled neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The sketch includes a simple side view of the dress, showing its shape more clearly. The lines are loose but confident, focusing on the dress’s design rather than detail. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
