1957
From the collection of Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris
Tailleur à motif bleu is a 1957 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with big blue polka dots. The sleeves are puffy at the shoulders, and the skirt flares out slightly. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she’s walking with one hand resting on her hip. Below her, two smaller sketches show the dress from the back and front. The handwritten note “Retour Toile” suggests this might be a corrected or revised version of the design. The polka dots are painted in quickly, while the lines are drawn with confident strokes.
