Rond-point is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a simple, flowing navy-blue dress. Her skirt is long and flared, while the top is fitted with a draped collar. She stands with one hand on her hip, looking confident, and her hair is styled in a soft wave with a headband. The sketch uses loose, quick lines to suggest fabric and movement. The navy color stands out against the light background, making the dress the focus. Next, check out womenswear from the 1940s to see how this style fits into fashion history.
