Re: Green Screen as a dress?
Rotoscope - 1. In computer graphics, to rotoscope is to create an animated matte indicating the shape of an object or actor at each frame of a sequence, as would be used to composite a CGI element into the background of a live-action shot. 2. Historically, a rotoscope was a kind of projector used to create frame-by-frame alignment between filmed live-action footage and hand-drawn animation. Mounted at the top of an animation stand, a rotoscope projected filmed images down through the actual lens of the animation camera and onto the page where animators draw and compose images. roto - An abbreviation for rotoscope, or for the animated masks produced by the rotoscoping process.

Your editing program may allow you to make simple shaped mattes that can be animated. If so that's a primitve form of rotoscope. You move the points around every few frames to outline the dress and change and move as it changes.
Some effects programs such as Commotion and After Effects have tools like Photoshop's Pen/Path tool. You set enough points to make the shape of the object and then reposition them as necessary. The computer calculated the inbetween frames. Rotoscoping allows you to cutout anything in the frame without concern for how it was shot or what color it is. Rotoscoping can be time consuming but if you have a poor key you can easily spend as much time with poorer results.

Re: Green Screen as a dress?
there is a skate video call "yea Right" from a company called "Girl skateboards". anyway in there they do some pretty cool stuff. They a few shots where they took the skateboards and painted them green and then keyed them out so it looks like the skaters are floating on air. They also took ramps and keyed them out to so it looks like the skaters were able to jump 5 feet in the air of flat ground. Its pretty cool, i actually think spike jones had a lot to with it.

Hey -
If you want to go old school, you could always use a video projector to project the images onto the dress. Of course you may also get it on her face and arms, which you may not want. I guess it depends on the shot. good luck - it sounds like a cool idea.
