Stupid licenses. I don't like the Galaxy dress. It looks stiff and gimmicky, like the goal was to shuck as many LEDs at it as possible, not create a beautiful tech garment. The Show of Light-dress was beautiful, however. It melded the tech with the tex. I want to make a hoodie or jacket like the one with the turn signals, but with sequentially blinking lights and more options. Maybe even a steady red light glowing more intensely when using the brakes. Yeah, not happy about the last shirt vid being unavailable for viewing in Norway. Stupid licenses.

Flexible solar cells and pressure pads woven across the back to keep your mp3 and glasses mentioned above, fully charged.

Also, what heat is emitted is spread out over the entire surface area of the dress. Finally, no one, to my knowledge, has actually tried wearing the GalaxyDress as is. @SecondActLady Some things to consider:
