About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose dress with a wide belt at the waist. The dress has a dark pattern on a light background and puffy sleeves. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The belt is wide and sits high on her waist, almost like a cummerbund. The drawing looks quick and rough, with bold lines and no extra details. Look up belt next to see how fashion designers use them in different styles.
