Yellow is definitely your color.
Glowing shoes. Nice. They have come a long way since L.A. Lights.
You should get a matching glowing brooch or hair clip… and then make them all light sensitive… or reactive to methane gas, so it can detect if your date farted. That wouldn’t be awkward. :-P
Actually… Light-up methane detecting garment accessories. Patent Pending. ;-)

As a fairly large guy I really have no use for this particular wearable (however it makes reading about it no less fun), But I did have to comment on the fact you look gorgeous in that yellow dress with those light up shoes.
Don’t feel left out, I’m sure you could find heels like that in a size 13 if you look around, Rule 34 and all that ;)
Its actually a size 15 which in women’s shoes if I remember correctly is about a 16.5 ;)

Is there a certain fabric I should use, I’m concerned with it causing a fire.
Nah, even if you short the battery it won’t get hot enough to melt polyester, never mind ignite cotton or wool.
