About this work

A woman stands sideways, holding a small black fabric swatch in one hand. She wears a dark dress with layered ruffles along the skirt and a high collar. Her hat sits low over her forehead, and she’s holding a folded paper in her other hand. The drawing is signed by *Madeleine & Madeleine* and includes a note about the dress’s twill fabric and ruffles. Look up twill weave next to see how this fabric was made.
