'Spirale' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted bodice and a long, flared skirt. The dress has a small bow at the waist and a ruffled hem. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist signed it *"Spirale"* in the corner, which might hint at the dress’s shape. The drawing feels like a quick study rather than a polished work. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
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.
