1. A wearable article comprising:
a first fabric portion comprising a lower margin and an inferior edge of a first fabric layer;
a second fabric portion comprising an upper margin and a superior edge of a second fabric layer;
an overlapping region in which the second fabric layer or the second fabric portion overlaps the first fabric portion including the inferior edge, whereby the first fabric portion forms an inner fabric layer and the second fabric layer or the second fabric portion forms an outer fabric layer;
a seam between the upper margin and the lower margin, said seam having a fixed portion in which the upper margin is fixed to the lower margin, and an unaffixed portion in which the upper margin is not fixed to the lower margin;
a pocket space between the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer, said pocket space is defined by the fixed portion and the unaffixed portion forms an opening at the top of the pocket space;
a sensing component disposed at least partially between the inner and outer fabric layer in the overlapping region, the sensing component comprising a non-conductive fabric base component and conductive regions provided on the base component, said conductive regions form an electrode and a conductive pathway; and
an opening in the inner fabric layer, said opening exposes at least part of the electrode,
wherein the sensing component is arranged such that when an electronics module that processes or communicates data is positioned in the pocket space, the electronics module is brought into communication with the sensing component.
