We would prefer to see this in red, but this is a new take on the "little black dress." Essentially, this slinky dress is a cell phone.

The M-Dress was designed by CuteCircuit after their "research showed that very often phone calls are missed because mobile phones are quite awkward to carry, especially for women, that have garments with small or no pockets.To allow women to stay connected while remaining stylish, CuteCircuit designed the M- Dress. A mobile phone in its own right but built out of soft circuitry."

The dress is made out of silk, and to use it you slip a sim in a small slot beneath the label. Indeed, that means it's T-Mobile or AT&T only, in the U.S. The will be released in 2011. Its price remains undisclosed.

The antenna is described as “super-tiny." Reportedly, it is stitched into the bottom hem of the dress, which is about knee-high, to reduce the of radiation that the wearer is exposed to (no matter what you may or may not believe about possible hazards of cell phone radiation).

To answer a call, you raise your hand to your ear, as shown. To hang up, you lower your hand. You can also make outgoing calls, but only to a few pre-programmed numbers (as you might assume; there's no "touch screen" on this dress).

Based on its description, it'll probably be pricey. You can bet it'll find a niche market among some, though.
