What is happening in my studio these days....

These days, I am working on an evening gown inspired by Post Impressionist artist Christian Rohlfs. I was specifically inspired by this piece...
I really loved the colors and, I felt it was very Post Impressionist because of the brush strokes. I decided to create an evening gown that would reflect the brush strokes some way. Here's a rough sketch of the garment I am creating.
It's hard to see the details, but the garment has layered chiffon strips of fabric going from the shoulder to the hem of the dress. It's all made of chiffon, silk, and silk organza, and I kept it monochromatic with navy and blues.

Just to show you a bit of the process so far, here are some pictures of the pattern making, fabric cutting, and now sewing of the dress, hopefully I can post a final picture once the garment is complete.
