wing dress update: how to stop time from flying

have you noticed that time really flies?
well
i have

it's really been fying here at the north end of central j-land
but nothing to be sad about because i am flying with my...

wing dress!!

the dress is constructed of total of 11 panels and
7 out of them are to be painted with fabric dye

as the photos you see below

these are completed to about 70-80%
the plan is to bring them all to that level first
then to 200+% altogether

the 7th is coming, that's the front/ center piece

time could stop flying, it seems like

neglecting to iron the fabric beforehand
