chikan work on my baby frock

Hi all,
I had an organza shawl of an old salwar and i kept that to use when i learn stitching....and now the time came, i started going for stitching classes and stitched simple salwar bottoms using machine...sharing this with little pride..i really wanted to learn stitching for past few years..but now only i got a chance..

I thought to make a frock for my baby and the material was plain pink organza material...so i did chikan work design which i saw during a blog visit.here is the link for that blog ...

Pls do tell me your suggestions
I will share the frock once i stitch it....

I used whipping stitch, stem stitch and satin stitch...

Initially i planned to do kutch work on this saree but i couldnt find time to trace that small desgin.. So i ended up doing like this... Please do feel free to write what u feel...

Border using running stitch like in kantha work.. And the peacock using whipped running stitch, running stitch, satin stitch, chain stitch, back stitch, french knots and herringbone stitch.
