skeleton dress in progress

the dress was actually tougher than i expected it to be. which always happens when you are trying to solder together thousands of LEDS. i ended up setting up the dress to have 6 connections to the arduino and 90 white LEDs but i ran out of time to put them all on.
It would have been nice to have the whole dress covered in clusters so that when the light is turned on it shows up a pattern.
there is always room for improvement however.
Also becuase the dress was made from wire, i had to be carefull it did not get short circuited.
by spray painting/coating the frame inside and out with laquer, it stopped any conduction.
almost like a plastic wrapping really which works if you do not scratch the paint off by mistake.
Another thing. it takes about 5 minutes to get out of the dress and in becuase the wire pricks your clothing and hooks onto it.
haha. but it fit me which was lucky.
i took some slow exposure photos in the dark with the dress on to replicate what a performance would look like from a watcher.
The photos turned out quite nicely really with the light actully lighting up small sections of the dress and its wire geometry.
pulling a rather extreme face in annoyance to getting the dress on. haha
