Sous le vent is a 1958 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman wearing a simple, fitted dress with short sleeves and a round neckline. The dress has a bold orange pattern on a cream background, and the skirt flares slightly at the bottom. In the corner, there’s a small drawing of the dress’s back view, showing how it closes with buttons or ties. The title *Sous le vent* is written in the top-right corner, which means "under the wind" in French. The loose, flowing lines give the dress a light, breezy feel. If you like this style, look up womenswear from the 1930s to see how fashion evolved.
