'Escargot' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This is a quick, loose sketch of a dress on a flat background. The drawing shows a simple, sleeveless gown with a round neckline and a flared skirt. The lines are light and sketchy, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The sketch is signed “Escargot” in the corner—likely the dress’s name. The artist used quick, confident strokes to capture the shape without detail. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
