Description
Fashion engraving for the French fashion magazine "Très Parisien".

This stencil depicts a woman wearing an ensemble comprising a jacket and skirt. It is striped in yellow and pink, enhanced by white pieces of fabric such as the jacket's lapels and cuffs, as well as a triangular one connecting the two garments. One black button on the skirt seems to hold its draping together, while similar buttons are used to close the jacket and its cuffs.
The outfit is accessorized with a wide-brimmed green and black hat as well as green gloves.
