This article approaches the different ways in which the dressed body problematizes the notion of limit, through the dilution of the boundaries between body and artifact that happens in the experience of wearing clothes. This phenomenon is examined under the light of the prosthesis and interface concepts, as those prompting the collapse of the dualities body-mind, subject-object, individual-society, natural-artificial.
