1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Robe pêche rehaussée de bandes de dentelle noire is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Lace, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The skirt has layers of black lace trim in horizontal bands, giving it a layered look. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s standing sideways, one leg slightly bent. The lace bands are drawn with quick, dark lines, making them stand out against the soft beige of the dress. The artist signed it "Toila" in the corner—likely a nickname. Look up lace to see how it’s made and why it was so prized in fashion.
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.
