Silver Satin Kimono – WIP 2

The silver satin kimono is sewn, but I have not yet painted it.  Attached are some concept paintings in sumi on rice paper, rough styling ideas for the painting.  In addition to painting it, I am also planning to make two underlayer kimono, and I’m hoping (fingers crossed that I’ll have time) to make a corset to go with it.  If the corset does not happen, I do have a very pretty real obi that I can wear with it, but I’d rather the entire outfit was made by me.

The sumi paintings will be available for sale in the League of Proper Villains‘ party room at the Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition.  All proceeds from these paintings will go to the League.
