Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve already seen what a TRON-inspired motorcycle suit looks like. Here’s what the black-on-bright style looks like on a dress, courtesy of cosplayer Victoria Schmidt aka ScruffyRebel and her boyfriend Jin Yo. It even comes with a heart-shaped Identity Disc!

According to Victoria, “The dress is entirely the creation and design of my bf. He had the desire to create a TRON-themed party dress…and then he did! I only contributed a body to wear it, and the idea to do light-up shoes :)” All the images were taken by Flickr member LJinto, except for the top image, which was originally taken by Adam Burakowski aka Dr_Teng.

You can check out more pictures of the dress on Victoria’s Facebook page or on LJinto’s Flickr page. Check out Victoria’s website to see more of her cosplays.

This robotic spider dress made by Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht and Austrian software developer Daniel Schatzmayr is creeping me out but also turning me on at the same exact time. I don’t know what to think—if those crawling spindly robot legs are scary or if they’re just sexy. More »

If you love clothes and happen to a fan of geeky stuff like Star Wars, then I’m pretty sure you’ve already heard of Black Milk Clothing by now. They’re behind the uber-sexy TARDIS mini dress and leggings and a series of awesome geeky swimsuits featuring C-3PO, Pac-Man, and R2-D2.

Their latest offering is a mini dress featuring none other than R2-D2. So if you’ve already got the swimsuit, then you’ll probably want a matching dress to go with it. Not that you’ll be wearing both of them at the same time, but, well, you get the point.

The dress is officially-licensed by Lucasfilm and is made from 82% polyester and 18% Lycra. It also happens to be one of those bodycon dresses that’s already an outfit in itself. Just pull it on, put your shoes on, and don’t worry about accessorizing because the dress already does all the work for you.

This is just one of Black Milk’s Star Wars-themed offerings this season. You can check out the video below for more from their range.

The R2-D2 dress is available at Black Milk for $130.00 AUD (~$133 USD).

Not that hearing aids are unsightly, but some people who use them actually find how they look pretty annoying. But it’s better to have them than not be able to hear what people are saying around you, right?

But if you’re looking for a sleeker, sexier alternative, then Flutter might just be the thing for you. It’s a fusion of fashion and robotics, as the garment was designed to allow those who have trouble hearing to “feel” the sounds around them.

There’s actually a complicated framework of wires and microphones under the dress that detect where the emitted sounds are coming from.

The ‘leaflets’, which are the leafy things on the dress, then flutter to give the wearer a sense of where the sound is coming from. So while it might not be a substitute for hearing aids, it’s a pretty enough start.

It’s only for the ladies, though, but maybe designer Halley Profita might have to come up with something for the gents the next time around.

Most girls I know avoid latex clothing with every inch of their souls, but here’s one dress some geeky girls might consider if it weren’t so expensive: the Star Wars Latex Dress. It’s every Star Wars fans’ dream dress, whether they’re female or male with a girlfriend who’s also a fan of the hit franchise.

Who knew Stormtroopers could be so sexy? I never imagined that I’d be using the words ‘stormtrooper’ and ‘sexy’ in one sentence, but there you have it. The dress is made by Shhh Couture Latex, who has a shop on Etsy where you can view all sorts of other latex-derived clothing, including a rather naughty R2-D2 bodysuit.

The Star Wars Stormtrooper Dress sells for $595(USD), and each dress is made to order to your exact size.
