"The diabetes dress shows that, if the disease is left unmanaged, there is a build up of toxins in the skin, which cause it to ulcer.

I suppose if it helps to get the message across it is worth while, but I can't imagine many people wanting to wear that kind of thing. I wont say what it reminds me of but in my mind (rightly or wrongly and it is just my opinion) it is like labeling people and making them targets because of something they can't help.

Ah! Hadn't realised that the dresses were in pairs, showing a well-controlled and poorly-controlled version of each disease:
