1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Robe à manches blanche à motif de feuille is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress covered in leaf-shaped patterns. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she wears a headband or cap. To the right, there’s a simpler line drawing of the same dress, front and back. The leaves on the dress are drawn in quick, uneven strokes. The word "Rétour Toile" is written in the corner—likely meaning the sketch was reused or adjusted. The artist’s signature, "Marie-Louise Carven," is faintly scrawled at the bottom.
