A simple dress that can shape shift into different styles with a custom fit by using a heat gun, has been developed.
Although called the 4D dress, it is made using a computer-controlled industrial knitting machine.
The device knits the basic dress all in one piece, using the special active yarn in which the fibres permanently shorten when heated past a certain temperature.
The unprocessed garment is placed on a dress-form mannequin.
Based on the buyer's measurements and their individual style, a robotic arm uses a custom heat gun to strategically heat the garment, causing the fabric to shrink just the right amount in just the right places.
Depending on how the active yarn is distributed in those areas, it can shrink to form features such as pin tucks, pleats or a cinched waist.
It the wearer gets tired of the dress they can take it back to the store to get new features added by the heat gun robot so it stay fashionable for longer than a normal dress.
Washing the dress in hot water won't activate the active yarn.
The technology was developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology inn the USA in collaboration with high-tech clothing company Ministry of Supply.

SCHICKSALE - Krebstod mit 22 Jahren: Trauernde Mutter will weiterhin Spenden sammeln in Erinnerung an ihre an Krebs verstorbene Tochter Emily Parsons

£63k her remarkable daughter helped raise for
cancer research despite knowing she was dying at

A grieving mum vows to keep fundraising in memory of her remarkable daughter, who
raised more than £10,000 for research into her condition in just 10 hours which soared
to £63,000 and has been climbing in the days since her death.
Talented and beautiful inside and out, university student Emily Parsons, 22, took her last
breath surrounded by her family on May 6, 2021, at the Arthur Rank Hospice in
Cambridge.
It was only months after being told the pins and needles she had mistaken for exam
stress were caused by an incurable spinal cord tumour called a diffuse midline glioma a
type of cancer so rare it only affects 100 people a year in the UK.
Now, as part of Emilys legacy of kindness, her mum Lisa and stepdad Paul, both 54, and
her younger brother, Ben, 17, have vowed to keep her JustGiving campaign to fund
research at Addenbrookes Hospital into her type of cancer going until at least the end of
2021.
Lisa, of Cottenham, Cambridge, a retired bank worker, said of her daughter, who was in
her final year at Loughborough University in Leicestershire, studying business psychology
with a view to becoming a primary school teacher when she fell ill: Emily was kind.
She always worried about other people, not herself. I was astounded and inspired by her
strength and her courage.
She had grace and dignity which shone out of her and not once did she complain or ask,
Why me? Instead, she was grateful for the care she was given.
Emilys problems began in April 2020 when she noticed a strange pins -and-needles
sensation in her hands and feet, which she initially dismissed as being caused by the
stress of her upcoming exams.
Ignoring the weird feelings, she joined her mum,

SCHICKSALE - Ehe zerbricht fast an nicht erkannter beginnender Demenz bei 46 jährigem Ehemann
Patsy Chem in a traditional Bulgarian outfit (PA REAL LIFE/Collect) *** Mum who feared her marriage was over when her husband grew
distant devastated to discover he actually had dementia at just 46
By Erin Cardiff, PA Real Life
A care home regional director who feared her husband had fallen out of love with her when
he became distant was devastated to discover that he actually had early-onset dementia
which he was diagnosed with at just 46.
When Michelle Macadangdang, 45, noticed that her childhood sweetheart David, now 50 with whom she has two children Samuel, 16, and Madison, 11 - seemed withdrawn, she
feared her marriage was crumbling and even arranged relationship counselling.
A committed family man, who became a postman to spend more time with his children
rather than using his first class biology degree, he continued behaving oddly until, one day in
October 2016, the police called Michelle in the early hours of the morning, after finding him
disoriented and driving erratically.
Concerned by David's personality and actions becoming increasingly strange, Michelle, of
Grays, Essex, took him to see a private consultant, who ran a series of tests before,
tragically, diagnosing him with dementia at just 46 years old.
She said: Because I work in care homes, I know the end result of dementia. I know theres
no cure.
Im not sure if it was denial, but when David was first diagnosed, all he kept saying was that
he felt fine.
Then, back home that night, he asked me if he was going to die. Id tried to be strong for
him and the children. I didnt want them to see me upset, so I went and took a shower and
just stood their sobbing.
Speaking with heartbreaking candour, to help promote the Alzheimers Society charity,
Michelle has described her heartache as she grieves for a man who is still physically here.
She said: When David was first diagnosed, I was offered bereavement counselling. At first I
thought, Why? My husband is still here.

A committed family man, who became a postman to spend more time with his children
rather than using his first class biology degree, he continued behaving oddly until, one day in
October 2016, the police called Michelle in the early hours of the morning, after finding him
disoriented and driving erratically.
Concerned by David's personality and actions becoming increasingly strange, Michelle, of
Grays, Essex, took him to see a private consultant, who ran a series of tests before,
tragically, diagnosing him with dementia at just 46 years old.
She said: Because I work in care homes, I know the end result of dementia. I know theres
no cure.
Im not sure if it was denial, but when David was first diagnosed, all he kept saying was that
he felt fine.
Then, back home that night, he asked me if he was going to die. Id tried to be strong for
him and the children. I didnt want them to see me upset, so I went and took a shower and
just stood their sobbing.
Speaking with heartbreaking candour, to help promote the Alzheimers Society charity,
Michelle has described her heartache as she grieves for a man who is still physically here.
She said: When David was first diagnosed, I was offered bereavement counselling. At first I
thought, Why? My husband is still here.

Emily at Lisa and Paul's wedding in January 2018 (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Grieving mum vows to keep adding to the
£63k her remarkable daughter helped raise for
cancer research despite knowing she was dying at
just 22

A grieving mum vows to keep fundraising in memory of her remarkable daughter, who
raised more than £10,000 for research into her condition in just 10 hours which soared
to £63,000 and has been climbing in the days since her death.
Talented and beautiful inside and out, university student Emily Parsons, 22, took her last
breath surrounded by her family on May 6, 2021, at the Arthur Rank Hospice in
Cambridge.
It was only months after being told the pins and needles she had mistaken for exam
stress were caused by an incurable spinal cord tumour called a diffuse midline glioma a
type of cancer so rare it only affects 100 people a year in the UK.
Now, as part of Emilys legacy of kindness, her mum Lisa and stepdad Paul, both 54, and
her younger brother, Ben, 17, have vowed to keep her JustGiving campaign to fund
research at Addenbrookes Hospital into her type of cancer going until at least the end of
2021.
Lisa, of Cottenham, Cambridge, a retired bank worker, said of her daughter, who was in
her final year at Loughborough University in Leicestershire, studying business psychology
with a view to becoming a primary school teacher when she fell ill: Emily was kind.
She always worried about other people, not herself. I was astounded and inspired by her
strength and her courage.
She had grace and dignity which shone out of her and not once did she complain or ask,
Why me? Instead, she was grateful for the care she was given.
Emilys problems began in April 2020 when she noticed a strange pins -and-needles
sensation in her hands and feet, which she initially dismissed as being caused by the
stress of her upcoming exams.

By Erin Cardiff, PA Real Life
A care home regional director who feared her husband had fallen out of love with her when
he became distant was devastated to discover that he actually had early-onset dementia
which he was diagnosed with at just 46.
When Michelle Macadangdang, 45, noticed that her childhood sweetheart David, now 50 with whom she has two children Samuel, 16, and Madison, 11 - seemed withdrawn, she
feared her marriage was crumbling and even arranged relationship counselling.
A committed family man, who became a postman to spend more time with his children
rather than using his first class biology degree, he continued behaving oddly until, one day in
October 2016, the police called Michelle in the early hours of the morning, after finding him
disoriented and driving erratically.
Concerned by David's personality and actions becoming increasingly strange, Michelle, of
Grays, Essex, took him to see a private consultant, who ran a series of tests before,
tragically, diagnosing him with dementia at just 46 years old.
She said: Because I work in care homes, I know the end result of dementia. I know theres

Speaking with heartbreaking candour, to help promote the Alzheimers Society charity,
Michelle has described her heartache as she grieves for a man who is still physically here.
