About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. The dress has a bow at the waist and tiny polka dots scattered across it. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s drawn in a loose, quick style with watercolor-like shading. The name *Flamand rose* is written in the corner, which might hint at the dress’s style or color. The small sketch below shows the same dress from the front, like a flat pattern. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more fashion drawings.
