I'd accessorize it with fine metal chain jewelry that fastened to my left ear, ran down the side of my neck, and branched off into little termini that were pinned to appropriate spots on the dress, to simulate the path of the vagus nerve. RazorDU30, you sound just like my godfather the EMT. This is cool.

It's like she took the manubrium from the sternum, slapped it into the spine like a vertabrae, then had the clavicles run through the spine of the scapula. If the scapulas were designed like this, you wouldn't be able to thrust your chest out. In fact, if you see the girl wearing this, you should challenge her to do exactly that. "I say, this is anatomically incorrect! Thrust your chest out!" She'll enjoy that. Why is there a bone going from the cervical vertabrae through the scapula?

I could imagine so many versions of this design. Applique anatomy on pants, shirts, jackets. Very nice work.
