Little black phone dress lets wearer make and receive calls by lifting her hand to her ear

Can your little black dress do that?

I've been doing it for years — without the dress.

TMI, joe.

"A little black dress [top] that doubles up as a mobile phone is to be launched in Britain."

You could look it up.

From the Telegraph: "The garment, branded the M-Dress, lets wearers make and receive calls by slipping their SIM card under the label, allowing them to keep their usual numbers.

"Gesture recognition software allows users to pick up a call by raising their hand to their ear and end a conversation by letting it fall to their side.

"The M-Dress, designed by the London-based fashion company CuteCircuit, will ring when an incoming call is received and different ringtones can be assigned to different numbers.

"The dress is described as being made of "a dark, richly textured, form-fitting silk jersey" and will be released in 2011. Its price remains undisclosed.

"The antenna, described as “super-tiny”, is stitched into the bottom hem of the dress, which rests at about knee-height, to reduce the amount of radiation that the wearer is exposed to."

From the CuteCircuit/M-Dress website: “Very often phone calls are missed because mobile phones are quite awkward to carry, especially for women, who 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.”
