Orrick assigned the designation "Private Commissions" to these sketches. Her folder-level encompassing dates have also been retained during processing. Although the sketches in this series are arranged chronologically, there is some overlap in years. However, the sketches contain no information indicating when they were executed.

The sketches commissioned by Natasha Rambova were originally filed with costume design sketches under the heading "Rambova, Geddes, Costumes." These consist of pencil sketches of day dresses, formal gowns, suits, and coats, and were probably created for Rambova's fashion atelier. Orrick also executed a series of illustrations for Rambova's 1944 yoga book, Technique for Living.
