I had this cut out before Gertie's sew along so I went ahead and made it up. The fabric is a quilting cotton (it has tiny apples and cherries - so cute).
I didn't make any changes but need to work on the bodice fit next time. It's a size 6, it has a little extra fabric across the neckline and bust. Still I felt super chuffed on Christmas Day...until I ripped the underarm facing darn it!

This bus is from Red Deer Transit.
After numerous attempts to customize a wrap dress for me, I finally did it! I have a few more grey hairs from the ordeal, but it's worth it!
Yay for me!

I was visiting Berlin in 1995 when Christo finally had permission to wrap the Reichstag.
What a spectacle this turned out to be ... and a fitting finish to the cold war; the ugly wall had come down just 6 years before ... in a way the Germans were given the Reichstag back - wrapped. Soon after the builders moved in and transformed it to become the Bundestag.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude:
Wrapped Reichstag®, Berlin 1971-95
After a struggle spanning through the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties, the wrapping of the Reichstag was completed on June 24th, 1995 by a work force of 90 professional climbers and 120 installation workers. The Reichstag remained wrapped for 14 days and all materials were recycled.
Ten companies in Germany started in September 1994 to manufacture all the various
materials according to the specifications of the engineers. During the months of April, May and June 1995, iron workers installed the steel structures on the towers, the roof, the statues and the stone vases to allow the folds of fabric to cascade from the roof down to the ground.
100,000 square meters (1,076,000 square feet) of thick woven polypropylene fabric with an aluminum surface and 15,600 meters (51,181 feet) of blue polypropylene rope, diameter 3.2 cm. (1.25?), were used for the wrapping of the Reichstag. The façades, the towers and the roof were covered by 70 tailor-made fabric panels, twice as much fabric as the surface of the building.
The work of art was entirely financed by the artists, as have all their projects, through the sale of preparatory studies, drawings, collages, scale models as well as early works and original lithographs.
The artists do not accept sponsorship of any kind.
The Wrapped Reichstag represents not only 24 years of efforts in the lives of the artists but also years of team work by its leading members Michael S. Cullen, Wolfgang and Sylvia Volz, and Roland Specker.
In Bonn, on February 25, 1994, at a plenary session, presided by Prof. Dr. Rita Süssmuth, the German Bundestag (parliament) debated for 70 minutes and voted on the work of art. The result of the roll call vote was: 292 in favor, 223 against and 9 abstentions.
The Reichstag stands up in an open, strangely metaphysical area, The building has
experienced its own continuous changes and perturbations: built in 1894, burned in 1933, almost destroyed in 1945, it was restored in the sixties, but the Reichstag always remained the symbol of Democracy.
Throughout the history of art, the use of fabric has been a fascination for artists. From the most ancient times to the present, fabric, forming folds, pleats and draperies, is a significant part of paintings, frescoes, reliefs and sculptures made of wood, stone and bronze. The use of fabric on the Reichstag follows the classical tradition. Fabric, like clothing or skin, is fragile, it translates the unique quality of impermanence.
For a period of two weeks, the richness of the silvery fabric, shaped by the blue ropes,
created a sumptuous flow of vertical folds highlighting the features and proportions of the imposing structure, revealing the essence of the Reichstag.

Elementary School wrapped and ready to paint. Analog 35mm Kodak Plus-X film in Leica MP with 50mm Summicron DR and orange filter.
This is a most unusual gift wrap. Dark blue background with nails, nails and more nails. Purchased at an estate sale. You get 2 pieces, one that has been cut is 20"x20 1/2", the other uncut is 30"x20". As you can see from the photo, there is a very slight crease in the paper. Would look great as a background for scrapbooking pages.
