The "First Date" Dress

The Intimacy 2.0 dress, created by Netherlands-based Studio Roosegarde, turns transparent when the wearer is aroused.

The garment comes in an option of white cloth or black fake leather material. Tactically placed thin leather strips are embedded with electronic-foils around the bust area. As the wearer’s heart rate and temperature goes up, the e-foils change colour and transform into clear plastic.

This means that as well as arousal, emotions such as excitement, fear and anxiety may cause the wearer to expose far more than they intended.
I don't expect to see many in St. Leonard soon, alas.
The original version of the dress, Intimacy, was made up of nearly all e-foils meaning that the entire dress could turn invisible. However, the 2.0 version is only transparent around the bust.
Aw, now that's just chicken.
Award-winning Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde calls his style of fashion 'techno-poetry.' He said: 'Intimacy 2.0 is a fashion project exploring the relation between intimacy and technology.'

‘Technology is used here not merely functional but also as a tool to create intimacy as well as privacy on a direct, personal level which in our contemporary tech society is becoming increasingly important.’

Currently the dress only comes in one size which is about 40 inch (101cm) long and best fits a size small or extra small.
I don't think they really expect a wide market. Wombat-socho has the the long awaited, post tax day, triple stuffed  edition of "Rule 5 Sunday: Ricochet" up at The Other McCain.
