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.

Neatorama reader Britt Savage (who’s quite an excellent singer, you can check out her tracks at her MySpace page) sent us some pics of her first fashion creation: a dress made out of IRS tax forms!

Britt had her husband wrap her in duct tape then cut her out of it for the dress form. She then glued and taped the tax forms to make the dress.

Link – Thanks Britt, it looks like quite a "taxing" job!

It doesn’t get much more awesome or horrific or perhaps horrifically awesome, depending on your point of view, than this, folks!

Behold the Sock Monkey Couture Dress by Rebecca Yaker of Hazel and Melvin’s Room (yes, that’s her modeling her own creation). If you don’t like that, how about this one?

Phonebook Dress Brings Sexy Back

Recycling can be so sexy. Creator Jolis Paons pleated, sewed and glued this entire dress by hand. It’s gorgeous, but I have to admit, I would hope my number wasn’t visible on it.

Remember the squid hat that Jill and Miss C posted? Well, I found a dress to match: behold the octodress by VECONA, as displayed in their Cabaret Gothique fashion show in Bruges last month. Via jwz.
