Miniature is a 1924 by Madeleine & Madeleine, depicting Flower, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a light green dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has three red-and-blue flower-like buttons down the front and a wide brown ribbon at the neckline. Her hair is styled in loose waves, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The tiny fabric swatch in the top left corner is the actual tulle the dress is made from. The handwritten notes call it a "robe de tulle" with "fantaisie" flowers and a "ribbon mordoré" (golden brown ribbon). Look up tulle to see how this delicate fabric was made.
These artists left a small but striking set of 1924 drawings and designs that mix fashion and line.
