There's also 30 second clip showing how the thing is built and it is pretty much scale mail -style pieces with an single pixel e-ink style display (apparently that's not really e-ink, but something similar). That's not something I would call 'fabric'. Embedding electronics to clothing isn't a new idea and it has been done by hobbyists and professionals over and over again with different solutions, this is just one more.
I don't doubt her claim, she sewed the dress and the components on top of it, but that's still not something I would call 'dynamic clothing'. If I hot glue an E-ink display on my baseball cap and mount batteries + arduino on it would that be dynamic clothing? With some definition, maybe, but in my opinion the story claims to be a bit more than that.
