Placeholder study for a tea-length dress with puffed sleeves, in rosewater pink.

Tea length, puffed sleeves, and a pink that is only a guess at the cloth. The second drawing is a stand-in detail, not a photograph of a neckline.

A real study would put the sketch next to photos from the toile and the finished dress. These drawings hold that place for now.
