Sarong is a 1959 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Bustier, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted top and a wide, flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back under a small headband, and she wears long gloves. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress from the front. The dress’s skirt looks like it’s made of layers of fabric, giving it a ruffled shape. The artist used quick, loose lines to show movement and style. Next, look up ruffle to see how this detail works 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.
