This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a loose pink top and a long, pleated skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one hand on her hip. A small fabric swatch is taped in the top-left corner, and the drawing has quick, sketchy lines. The handwritten notes in French describe the outfit: *"Robe de crêpe rose, broderie jaune, jupe plissée"* (a pink crepe dress with yellow embroidery and a pleated skirt). The address at the bottom points to a Paris shop. Check out embroidery to see how small stitches can add big detail to clothes.
