Prompt 

A fashion design croquis of an elongated nine-head-proportion figure in a flowing haute couture gown, loose confident ink linework with a fine brush tip, visible watercolour wash in muted rose and pale gold bleeding beyond the ink lines, the gown with a fitted bodice and a cascading asymmetric train, one hand resting on an imagined hip, the head a featureless oval with no facial features, swatches of fabric colour noted in the corner as small rectangular patches with handwritten-feeling notations, plain off-white watercolour paper background, the linework slightly imperfect and gestural --ar 2:3 --stylize 150

How to use this prompt

"Nine-head-proportion figure" is the phrase that produces a real croquis rather than a standard portrait — fashion illustration elongates the figure to roughly nine head-heights, and naming the convention tells Midjourney to stretch the silhouette. "Featureless oval with no facial features" matters because the croquis is about the garment, and a rendered face distracts from the drape. "Loose confident ink linework with a fine brush tip" plus "slightly imperfect and gestural" is what separates a design sketch from a clean digital line — the gestural quality is the whole point. The fabric swatches in the corner are a real designer convention, and "handwritten- feeling notations" keeps them from rendering as printed text.

Variations to try

  • Recolour the gown to deep teal with silver swatches for an evening-wear palette
  • Redraw as a menswear croquis: a double-breasted tailored suit with chalk-mark notations
