About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright pink dress with a short top and a flared skirt. The dress has dark green floral patterns near the hem, and the skirt looks light and airy. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one arm outstretched. The title *Roses pompon* hints the dress might have pom-pom details, but they’re not clearly visible here. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, lively feel. Next, check out pom-pom to see how this tiny accessory shows up in fashion.
