Grasse is a 1956 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 simple, flowing dress. The dress has a fitted top with short sleeves and a wide, flared skirt that hits just above her ankles. She’s wearing low-heeled shoes and a small cap on her head. The lines are loose but confident, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Grasse* is written in the corner—maybe a place or a design idea. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture the shape and movement of the outfit.
