Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional bras are not suitable for wear with backless garments as they obstruct the view of the wearer's back, limiting their versatility and compatibility with certain fashion styles.
Innovation Solution
A backless bra design featuring transformable configurations that allow for different wearing styles, including completely backless, strapless, halter, one shoulder, two shoulder, crisscross, and other configurations, utilizing a system of tabs and straps that can be connected in various ways to provide support and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional bras with back coverage are used, then breast support is provided, but the view of the wearer's back is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the back coverage portion traditionally present on bras, extracting only the essential support functions (cups, front wings, closure system) while eliminating the obstructive back panel. This allows the bra to be worn with backless garments while maintaining breast support.
Solution Approach 2:
The bra is designed to serve multiple functions: providing breast support, being compatible with both backless and non-backless garments, and offering adjustable strap configurations. The removable or reconfigurable strap system enables the same bra to adapt to different clothing styles and occasions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional bras with fixed strap configurations are used, then simple construction is maintained, but versatility in wearing styles is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The strap system is divided into separate, reconfigurable components with multiple attachment points. Straps can be detached and reattached at different locations to create various configurations (halter, one-shoulder, crisscross, traditional), transforming a single complex system into multiple simpler arrangements.
Solution Approach 2:
The bra incorporates dynamic, adjustable elements including removable straps and reconfigurable fastening systems. These components can be adjusted or repositioned based on the desired wearing style, allowing the bra to transform from a fixed configuration to multiple adaptive configurations.
