Nabi floated through the door with practiced grace belying her trepidation. Her short, athletic frame had been trained to the point that her every move was a dance, whether she was out on the ice, walking through an airport, or finding her seat at some promotional demonstration. At the moment, she was doing the latter. The room was small, but there was still plenty of space. The only other people were the presenter, Désirée, who had guided her here and two women that Nabi presumed were other prospective customers. These two new faces were seated next to each other and seemed to have been chatting until the door had opened.
"Hiiii," cheered a pale, curvy redhead. "I feel like I've seen you before. Have we met?" She extended her hand for a shake without standing.
Nabi was glad to have even that bit of recognition outside her home country. "Do you watch the winter Olympics?" In accepting the handshake, she'd been guided to sit closer to the others than she'd have liked.
It was the other girl's turn to pipe up. "Ooh, you're that South Korean figure skater! That was a great routine last year." This lanky woman's gorgeous face appeared to be of Indian descent, but she spoke with a British accent.
Nabi felt a bit more relaxed; she might be an introvert, but you don't become a competitive athlete without enjoying a bit of praise. "It evidently wasn't worth a medal, but thank you. I'm Nabi."
"Well that explains it," beamed the redhead. "I'm Maeve. I'd say you might recognize me from an underwear catalog, but
you
obviously wouldn't be browsing for plus sizes."
"And I'm Hiral," the golden-skinned Brit said with a bit of a half-wave. "Once again, the least famous girl at the party. I'm just a songwriter."
It was at this point Désirée, who had gathered her things at a podium beside a projector screen, piped up. "Speaking of parties, what do you say we get this party started? I'm sure you're all eager to begin your complimentary stay at the resort for participating in the demonstration, but I think you'll like what we have to offer." This dark-skinned lady had at least a decade on the late-twenty-somethings she was addressing. Her more classically attractive build and plain face were certainly above average, but weren't much competition for the trio that sat before her. "You ladies undoubtedly have extensive wardrobes, but wouldn't it be great to have whatever outfit you need, whenever you need it? Why limit yourself to whatever you can get ahead of time, and having to get everything altered to fit you perfectly?
"Introducing..." Désirée teased as she tapped a device on her podium "...the OmniDress." Before their eyes, a wave of sparkles steadily rippled down Désirée's body, morphing her business suit into a stunning white ball gown as it went. "With cutting-edge nanotechnology, we've created a fully-customizable suit, ready to change shape..." a few swipes and taps caused the gown to morph into a shorter, more form-fitting party dress. "...Color..." another tap and the dress faded from white to red. "...And even material." A few more taps and the dress appeared to change from a cotton/polyester mix to a shiny pleather.
Désirée definitely had their attention now. "Let's get you girls suited up before we continue." One-by-one, she had them come up to the podium to scan their fingerprints first into a touchscreen device that could be mistaken for a small phone, then into a metal canister about the size of a can of paint. "There are changing rooms along this wall; take your pick. You will need to remove
all
your clothing before putting on the OmniDress. Power on the controller," Désirée indicated the touchscreen device, "then twist and lift the handle on the carrying case. Stick your hand inside until all the nanites have left. You'll feel a pleasant tingling sensation as they find their place. Once you're set, come back out and we'll continue the demonstration."
With that, each of the women entered a stall at random, all sharing the same nervous excitement.

After much wandering through the beige office corridors, Seung finally crept into the observation room. He'd assumed there'd be a crowd he could sneak into like being late to a class, something his mousey asian frame always assisted in, but there were only three others in the room. "Sorry, got a little lost on my way from the bathroom" Seung panted. "Did I miss anything?"
"The girls are just getting dressed," a fit caucasian man assured him. This was Carl, the sales representative they'd all spoken to when they booked their appointments, and who had led the other clients to this room. "Please scan your fingerprints into this to get your remote set up, but don't touch any of the functions for the time being." Carl handed Seung a small touchscreen device and Seung obliged.
Once he was done, Seung looked up to greet the surprisingly familiar faces of the room's other occupants. "Hi, I'm Seung," he said, moving in for a handshake with a tall, buff man with skin of onyx. "I think I've seen you before. You're in the NBA, right?"
The man nodded as he leaned down and accepted the handshake. "I play for Chicago. Trayvon is fine."
"Awesome," Seung nodded, wriggling out of the python grip on his hand. He turned to the shapely and green-haired latina next to Trayvon. "Now
you
I recognize, Valeria." Seung hesitantly asked "You two aren't together, right?"
"You must not listen to my music," Valeria chuckled through a still firm but not crushing handshake. "Nah, but our wives are friends. Hiral's mine," she said, gesturing to the screen displaying her naked partner in the changing room. The observation room shared a wall with the presentation room, which was presumably a one-way mirror, but there were monitors along a desk displaying hidden camera feeds from each changing room, half of them empty.
"Yeah, sorry," Seung eked out, distracted by his sudden realization at the three beautiful ladies undressing on the monitors. "I'm not into punk; more of a classic hip-hop guy myself."
"My man," Trayvon said, giving Seung a dap. "So you know us. How are
you
makin' the kinda money to afford this?"
Seung delicately answered with "I'm lead engineer on some pretty classified stuff for the military. I
hope
I'm never on TV unless it's in the stands at the Olympics, cheering on Nabi." Speaking of his lovely wife, Seung watched the monitor as something that looked like oil flowed out of a canister and up his wife's arm, spreading across her body until it settled into the form of a unitard, leaving only her head exposed. He noticed all three of the young women shuddered during this process. "That must be the nanofabric?"
"Indeed," nodded Carl. "Some women find the sensation of the nanomachines shifting takes some getting used to, but everyone eventually finds it pleasant. Before we begin, I'd just like to confirm one last time: are each of you certain that your wives enjoy bondage and submission?" The trio nodded their heads and donned devilish smiles. "Perfect," Carl "I know we have it in writing already, but we want to be absolutely sure this is an enjoyable experience for everyone."
As the women filed out of the changing rooms and took their seats, Carl continued. "Now that they have the OmniDress on, I'd like you all to unlock your devices and look at the topmost function." The trio obliged, and they all raised their eyebrows in turn as they noted it was a slider labeled Arousal. "You can see the slider is grayed out and saying 'priming' at the moment. It takes a minute or two for the nanites responsible for this feature to get in place in and around the genitals. Once they do though, they'll be able to apply extremely subtle pressure and vibrations to stimulate your partner without them noticing."
The priming finished on each of the remote control devices and the slider went to the second of four settings, as Carl continued to explain. "The default setting is Keep Warm, which is what we'll keep it on for the time being. This will get them to a baseline readiness. They might not notice any arousal, but anything that is a turn-on for them will be exciting instead of embarrassing or out of place. We recommend keeping them on this setting during the day-to-day, since they should still be able to focus on work, social interaction, and such while this is on, though it'll keep them in a generally randier state. You can turn the arousal function off if you really need to. The other settings are 'simmer' and 'boil,' which we'll get to later."
"They have remote controls too," Valeria noted. "Are they seeing this?"
Carl shook his head and smiled. "Most functions are on both devices, though you can show and hide them at will. For this demonstration, you'll note many are hidden from your partner, but I'll have you reveal them at the opportune time. The arousal function does
not
appear on their control device." The trio each gave a smirk and a nod. "You'll notice a bar filling below the slider; this indicates where your lady's actual arousal state is in relation to the slider. So let's sit back and wait for them to catch up while they listen to Désirée."

The girls had to sit through about ten minutes of Désirée talking over some slides. There had been a portion dedicated to the technology behind it (blah blah quadrillions of tiny robots, blah blah machine learning), but it was mostly showing how the various functions worked and discussing the care and use of the OmniDress. Things like how often the dress needed to be returned to the canister for charging, how to change materials, the limitations on designing your own clothing from scratch, etc.
