This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a shimmery dress for dancing. The dress has a big bow at the waist and a sheer overlay with black dots. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s wearing low heels. The colors are mostly silver and pink with black accents. The notes say this dress is made of "lamé" (a shiny fabric) and "tulle pékiné" (a type of lace). The title even calls it a "dance dress," so it’s clearly meant for movement. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
