Integrated Garment Suspender Straps for Adaptive Fit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing garment suspenders are limited in adaptability, often requiring belt loops or being concealed under clothing, and lack versatility across various body types and garment styles.
Innovation Solution
A garment suspender system with straps and clips that can be incorporated into or overlay the design of a garment, allowing connection between a garment top and bottom, or other garments, using fastening means like clips or adhesive, with optional retractable covers for concealment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional suspenders are used with belt loops, then they can securely hold garments, but they lack adaptability to other garment styles and body types
Solution Approach 1:
The suspender is designed with multiple attachment options including clips, buttons, and adhesive strips that can be selectively positioned on various garment types (pants, skirts, dresses, shorts) without requiring belt loops. This multi-functional attachment system enables the same suspender to securely hold different garment styles while accommodating diverse body types and fashion preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The suspender is divided into modular components with multiple clips and attachment points distributed along its length. These segmented attachment mechanisms can be independently positioned and adjusted to match different garment waistlines, hemlines, and body contours, providing versatile compatibility without increasing overall structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If suspenders are concealed under clothing, then they are invisible, but they cannot be incorporated into the garment design as a visible aesthetic element
Solution Approach 1:
The suspender is integrated directly into the garment construction by attaching it to the garment's interior lining or waistband structure. This merging of the suspender with the garment itself allows it to function as both a supportive element and a visible design feature on the garment's exterior, eliminating the need for separate suspender installation while enhancing the garment's aesthetic appeal.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a single garment size is produced, then manufacturing costs are reduced, but it cannot flatter all body types
Solution Approach 1:
The suspender incorporates adjustable-length straps and repositionable clips that can be dynamically configured to accommodate different body measurements and proportions. This dynamic adjustability allows a single garment size to be customized for various body types through simple user adjustments rather than requiring multiple size productions, maintaining manufacturing efficiency while improving fit precision.

AI summary
A garment suspender and system is provided. The garment suspender may comprise at least one strap configured to connect a first garment to a second garment. The at least one strap may comprise a first end and a second end. A first clip may be disposed at the first end and a second clip may be disposed at the second end such that the first clip and the second clip may secure the second garment so as to form-fit a body of at least one wearer. The at least one strap may be removably or permanently affixed to or convertibly overlay the first garment. The first clip and the second clip may be suspender clips and the at least one strap may be formed of elastic.
