About this work

Her hair is neatly styled, and she’s wearing gloves and low-heeled shoes. The sketch includes a simple line drawing of the outfit’s back view, showing how the jacket and skirt fit together. The artist’s signature is written in the corner. Look up buckle to see how it’s used in fashion designs.
