Princesse Thi is a 1959 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 teal dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a subtle floral pattern near the hem, and the woman wears a simple headpiece. Next to her is a basic outline of the dress’s shape, like a flat pattern. The handwritten note “Princesse Thi 173” suggests this might be a design for someone named Thi. The sketch looks like it was quickly drawn, with loose lines and watercolor-like shading. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to learn more about the artist behind this drawing.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
