carbon tape

This is an example of carbon tape being used to heat a blanket from a tutorial I found online. (http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-carbon-heated-blanket/?ALLSTEPS) I am attempting to use this technique to heat my dress.

A Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week

I sewed together the bodice lining and have put the carbon tape on it. I figured out it does conduct heat!

A description of problems encountered and outstanding issues 

I need to figure out how long each strip of carbon tape should be to be able to heat the dress and what size battery I will need, along with how to connect the battery.

A plan for the next week of work

Construct the remainder of the dress and determine the solutions to the above problems.
