That's exactly what Daan Roosegaarde, V2 Lab, and Maartje Dijkstra have created, using a flexible plastic material and radio frequency (http://gizmodo.com/tag/radiofrequency/) technology. Very pretty too:
Called Intimacy, the dress' smart fabric reacts to variations in the electric current, smoothly changing its opacity until it gets completely transparent—and viceversa. The change is controlled by a ball, which has an RF tag that gets detected by circuitry in the dress' collar. On a related note, this is what happens to my underpants whenever my fiancée gets close to me, with no RF tag involved whatsoever.[Roosegaarde (http://www.studioroosegaarde.net/) and v2 (http://www.v2.nl/archive/articles/fashion-transparency-intimacy) via Styleguru (http://www.styleguru.org/entry/intimacy-creative-and-sensual-clothing-by-roosegaarde/) via Fashion Tech (http://www.fashioningtech.com/profiles/blogs/intimacy-a-sensual-hautetech)]
