These Origami-esque paper dresses are by Icelandic artist Andrea Maack , which was presented at The Reykjavik Art Museum in Iceland. Each dress took about 200 hours to make. Dang! That’s a lot of work for not being able to wear the dress ever. I mean, imagine if you ripped it while tying your shoes or something. That would suck. Paper Couture is all the rage among artists and designers now. Is fabric that expensive? Maybe they don’t want to sew? I understand that, I can’t figure out the bobbin thingy and the bobbin threading. I always end up cursing the sewing machine and then using fabric glue, which makes my project look like a Home Ec craft from a jock. We need massive advancements in sewing in the Bobbin department.
