Needleworkmonday - Momma's flowing waves dress

The Great Wave of Kanagawa a painting made by Hokusai🌊 is one of the most recognizable work of Japanese art in the world. It was painted in the 19th century.
Well, I didn't know all this until I posted a picture of my done dress. Thanks to @neumannsalva 's travel experience and attention to detail she was able to note that she'd seen a painting of the sort ☺.
It was interesting to get all that information as a result of the resemblance of the material I used with the painting of The Great Wave.
I was supposed to make the dress for my mom as well and she wasn't around for that so I held off making hers and with good reason as well.
Turns out I was right in waiting for her to be back (I usually am about that) even though she insisted I didn't have to wait (she usually does).
She changed the style three times 🤦🤦 and then I altered the dress a lot more times than that 🤦🤦🤦🤦
We finally settled on a gathered flowing gown with little sleeves , a u-neck in front and a kinda canoe shaped back neck, and I added the remains of my blue velvet materials as a band and sewed on another starlike designed I got from another material onto the velvet. Making the gathers required for the gown made me realize I would like to have long flowing gathered skirt. I think it would be cool to make that for myself.
She looked quite content twirling with it. I also feel accomplished and relieved 😀😊😊
