Sheet measures 12.5" x 9".<br/><br/> This original croquis from the designer Christian Dior features an outfit from the Winter 1974/75 collection.This croquis was made from a xerograph of an original drawing, which was then hand-colored with ink, watercolor, and gouache. The design shows three views of a jacket, vest, shirt, and skirt combination. Three swatches of the appropriate fabrics--light brown wool, burgundy muslin, and burgundy and white wool--are stapled to the sheet.
