Description: Claire is trying to expand the line of clothing her company offers to include something unique such as a light weight armor that provides some protection and yet can still be looked upon as fashionable. This dress is her second attempt at this introductory line, the first being a vest, with pants.

Many of the women and men she comes in contact with are CEOs of companies, their image is important. An item that looks like high fashion and yet has the special properties to offer limited protection against a would be assisin would entice new clientele and bring back some of her repeat customers.

Phiridium offers the protection factor while shimmersilk offers luxury. This dress has a shimmersilk lining then the phiridum has been pressed into thin discs and attached to the shimmersilk in an intriguing design. The weight of 2.27 KG (5 lbs) may be considered heavy.
