In a year's time, it may be your dress that's ringing, not your cellphone!

Remember all the times you couldn't carry your phone along with that cute little outfit you wore to a party? Well, your problem may have been finally solved, with a new little black dress that also acts as your mobile phone. It's called the M-dress and you can receive your calls on it by simply raising your hand to your ear. And hang up by letting your hand fall to the side. Nifty, right?

Designed by the London-based fashion company CuteCircuit, the dress 'rings' when you get a call -- you can even set different ring tones for different callers.

The only hitch is that it can call a limited number of pre-programmed contacts, according to Mashable, the technology website, reports The Telegraph.

Its price is not yet known, but the M-dress will be released in 2011.

"Very often, phone calls are missed because mobile phones are quite awkward to carry, especially for women wearing 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," says the message on the website CuteCircuit.com
