When I last looked into this to help my Nephew out with his ideas for a line of rave gloves and other clothing gear, we prototyped with an arduino and conductive thread:

Teensy, DigiSpark TinyLily etc are great for small wearables
And yes. Conductive thread is the best way to do this sort of thing.
I bought a big spool of it a while back and it makes a great stash for your space.
Mine got used up for classes on sewing electronics.
