Here are some more pictures. All the flower pattern were painted free hand. No clear or matt coat used on my figure. From my experience all these coatings destroy the intensity and true beauty of artist oil.

Thank you for the comments.
Regarding the flower pattern, this was layout on tracing paper. I first decided on the appropriate size and set the distance between the two flowers. I did couple rows of the flower pattern on tracing paper just to see the overall design. I then painted the first flower on the clothing with the least amount of folding. From there onward, I used the set distance and adjusted accordingly on different folds by eyeballing and lots and lots of patience. No stencil was used. All painted by freehand with a fine watercolor brush.

You make it sound ever so easy!
