The New K-Dress from CuteCircuit may not be terribly affordable, but I admire their initiative to take it to market!
Luscious hand-pleated silk chiffon dress, with hundreds of LED lights embedded in the fabric.After the great success of the K-dress, inspired by the gorgeous CuteCircuit couture dress that Katy Perry worn at MET Gala in New York in 2010, CuteCircuit presents this new lovely version with more LEDs!
Slightly longer than the previous version, this new CuteCircuit tailored piece comes in a variety of colours. Just pick your favourite colour and tell us!
The LED lights glow and sparkle in whatever colour and pattern you choose. The K Dress has a small snap-in controller that recharges via USB. Just plug it into your computer USB port and charge it up! The long-life battery is fully charged in about 2 hours and you will be dress to impress for the whole night.
