Solar dress to juice up gizmos?

Solar power is certainly picking up the pace when it comes to the world of consumer electronics, but that doesn’t mean the technology is advanced enough to handle rapid charging due to its relatively low efficiency rate. Here’s an idea – a solar dress which features cotton threads that can conduct electrical currents, despite being light and comfortable enough to wear as though you had some cotton on. It also boasts solar panels in the right places, where it aims to channel all the juice harnessed into a connected portable consumer electronics device like a portable media player, for example. Chic or not? You decide, assuming it ever sees the light of day.
