HONG KONG SEAMS, UNDERLINED

My creation is a colorblocked, tiered dress made of 100% linen in 3 natural colors, white, brown, and sand.  I underlined using a slightly lighter weight fabric and finished with hong kong seams.  The effect is simple, yet dramatic with  blocks of color.  This design came to me when the fabric was layered over the back of a chair. I've wanted to make a colorblock design for a while though.  Thank you to my friend for being my model.
