Robe à fines bretelles blanche à motif marron is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows two women’s dresses side by side. The first has a fitted black bodice with thin straps and a flared skirt splashed with brown paint. The second dress is similar but has a draped neckline and shorter skirt. Both are drawn in loose, quick lines with watercolor-like shading. The handwritten note says "Polly, New York," which might hint at where these designs were meant to go. The artist’s signature reads *Marie-Louise Carven*.
