Material which changes colour according to how tightly it is stretched. Colours up like those relief maps in atlases. Bulges / swellings appear as mountain ranges, areas where the fabric hangs appear as seas. Everyone will have a different landscape. Can have different designs with map symbols on - trig points, landmarks, waterfalls, areas of outstanding natural beauty, county names etc etc.

       So you want clothing that accentuates your bulges? Doesn't seem very aesthetically pleasing to me.

       How tightly it's stretched is not equivalent to bulges, as garments are generally made to fit a generic shape. The tightness may reflect your deviation for the generic blueprint, or may again be a design feature.

       I like maps, so I've got to say this could produce an interesting effect. +

       Badish idea for general wear but could be good for trying styles and cuts of clothing on such as the difference between 2 pairs of jeans from different manufacturers

       Ummm...how does it change colors?

       "Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
When her muscles start relaxin',
up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of them all.
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
with a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!"

       Hmm, an outfit that turns into a giant relief map of the world. Sounds like something Star Jones or t he Weathergirls would wear. I'll take two.

       [yabba] - perspex under a polarized filter will show coloured stress fringes. Should be able to make use of this effect.

       Different colours in the warp and weft of the fabric might work,
—engineer1, Apr 01 2004
   

       Naah - it would end up looking like a lava lamp.   

       Also your map would always be 'about' the same. And the map wouldn't actually display any meaningful information at all.

       Neat!

       Come here, honey... I want to go "hiking".

       have you ever seen those squishy, colour-changing balls? Perhaps you can only buy them here, in north america...   

       In any case, it's a hollow colored ball (mine is purple) made of a rubber-like material that is highly compressible and flexible. It feels like I imagine a silicone breast implant does before it's implanted. When you squeeze it hard, the orange/red fluid inside presses against the purple rubber, thinning it out and showing the orange colour inside. The harder you squeeze, the brighter it gets.   

       Perhaps you could make use of this principle; the only problem is that it would be like wearing a wetsuit with a liquid center.
