Wind-Sensitive LED Dandelion Dress Is Made for Pretty Night Fairies

I like this dress embroidered with dandelion lights. Called Flare, it was created by designer Stijn Ossevoort. The LED flowers glow up gently when the wind or your breath touches them, causing much swooning and sighing in the process. Less spectacular than the Galaxy Dress, but classier.
