'Dorothée' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a high collar and fitted waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The dress has a row of buttons down the front, and the fabric looks smooth and simple. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that barely fill the page. The artist signed it *"Dorothée"* in the corner. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
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.
