Placeholder study for a narrow evening sheath, with a short motion clip standing in for a fitting video.

The silhouette is a column: high neck, little ease, the kind of sheath that needs a fitting more than a flourish. Nothing here is cut from velvet yet.

The clip beside the sketch is a silent placeholder, so the page can hold a video the same way it will hold a walk-through of a finished dress.
