1. A wearable electronics device, the device comprising:

  • a garment comprising a fabric; and

    at least one stretchable and conductive ink pattern on the garment, wherein the conductive ink pattern comprises;

    a layer of conductive ink having;

    between about 40-60% conductive particles, between about 30-50% binder;

    between about 3-7% solvent; and

    between about 3-7% thickener;

    a layer of an elastic adhesive on the garment; and

    a gradient region between the conductive ink and the adhesive, the gradient region comprising a nonhomogeneous mixture of the conductive ink and the adhesive wherein the concentration of conductive ink decreases from a region closer to the layer of conductive ink to the layer of elastic adhesive;

    wherein the thickness of the layer of the elastic adhesive is greater than the thickness of the gradient region and the thickness of the gradient region is a same or greater thickness than the conductive ink.
