About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt covered in small blue dots. The dress has thin straps and a bow at the waist. A piece of fabric with blue floral patterns is tucked into the top left corner. The handwritten note "Retour Toile" suggests this might be a test version of the dress fabric. The artist also drew a quick side view of the skirt’s shape below the main figure. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
