Over-dyeing Men's contemporary West African Kaftan

Was asked to help revamp this black and white men's  structured Kaftan to give it a lively African twist and was glad to help.  I liked the tailored structure of the Kaftan and wanted to choose a colour that would emphasize this structure. I looked at African wax printed textiles for inspiration and found an array of bold colourful prints that inspired me to create this vibrant orange colour which I used to over-dye this kaftan.  I used high water immersion method to over-dye the kaftan. See below for the finished piece.
