Motivated by the need for comfortable and supportive plus-size bras, this thesis project is dedicated to crafting a solution tailored to this market segment. Centering on human-centered research and ergonomics, this bra collection features an adjustable, wire-free design with custom 3D printed adjustment sliders and four-way stretch fabric tailor to breast shape and enhance comfort. Pastel hues evoke a sense of nostalgia and relaxation, complemented by architectural details that enhance both structure and style, epitomizing a harmonious fusion of comfort and innovative design. 
This project was proudly displayed at the Cargill Gallery, showcasing its innovative design approach.​​​​​​​
