House of Worth (French, 1858-1956, 1999-)
Description
Runway drawing in pencil of a woman in an evening gown in blue silk moire of the House of Worth collection. The woman, with short hair and pursed lips faces the viewer, whilst placing her hands delicately on her hips. The neckline is long and curved, and the dress sleeveless. The bottom is heavy and volumenous with rounded, bouncy fabric, which revelas the fronts of the ankles and gets longer behind. There is a diamond shape in the front center of the dress, and two vertical lines fall besides it. A big bow is tied on the back of the dress.
