'Rosita' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This quick sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with vertical stripes and tiny colored dots. The dress has a high waist and a long, flared skirt that sways as she walks. She holds a small bouquet of flowers in one hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The loose, sketchy lines give it a casual, almost hand-drawn feel—like a fashion doodle. The dots on the dress look like they could be paint splatters or a quick way to add color. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
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.
