Motivated by the need for comfortable plus-size bras, my thesis project is dedicated to crafting a solution tailored to this market segment, recognizing its vital role in ensuring wearer comfort and well-being. The design ethos centers on inclusivity and comfort, featuring an adjustable, wire-free design with bespoke 3D printed adjustment sliders and four-way stretch fabric for a personalized fit and enhanced 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 Minneapolis Central Library gallery, showcasing its innovative design approach.

Design Objectives:

// Enhanced comfortability / Account for diversity of body types / Provide enhanced fit experience //
