A MUSICAL DRESS

Description

The dress is made of dress-material, the lower half of which is covered by straws or light weight strands. These strands or straws are independent of one another save at the belt.

At the bottom of each straw is either a light weight bell or breezesensitive light weight tube. Sounds, pleasing to the ear, are emitted whenever there is movement.

The dress also has a belt. At the belt, there is a slot-

compartment at where a micro-module producing a tune can be placed. Also, there is a similar slot-compartment on the inner side of the dress (for similar purposes) at the top of the dress between the breast-places.

At the discretion of the woman wearing this dress, the dress can play one or more tunes while being worn. Those tunes are accompanied by the sounds of tinkly bells and soft flautina timbres.
