About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose dress with a deep blue shawl collar. The dress is simple, with clean lines and a slight flare at the bottom. Her hands rest at her sides, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The shawl collar is the dress’s only detail—it’s a soft fold of fabric that frames her neck. The drawing is loose and quick, almost like a quick note. Next, look up shawl collar to see how this small detail shaped fashion.
