The Galaxy Dress is composed of 24,000 LEDs, each measuring two by two millimeters, attached to four layers of chiffon and forty layers of crinoline. The whole thing can be powered by a few iPod batteries for up to an hour. It’s one of the recent creations of CuteCircuit, a design firm specializing in “wearable technology.” The dress is now on permanent display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

24,000? They can’t all be on in that picture, then. Looks more like 2400. At 5ma each, 24k LEDs use 120 Amps. You’d need to lug around a car battery.

Trust me. For a woman to get noticed, she doesn’t need bright lights… just headlights.

I not really fond of how it give the illusion of the anorexic yet hourglass look to the body. Can I see this dress in plus size?

I can’t imagine where I would wear something like this, and am not even sure I would, but it is cool to look at!

Having seen the dress in person, it is interesting. Yes, the LED’s go around the whole dress. I found it not that attractive in real life. Interesting, but kind of ugly. Also, it looked horribly uncomfortable.
