'Fraisette' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing black dress with a fitted top and a wide, ruffled skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s standing on one leg, as if caught mid-movement. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas shaded to show depth. The name "Fraisette" is scrawled in the corner, likely the dress’s design name. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished final piece. Want to see more by the artist? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
