Final design research working title: creating a design idea for a customizable nursing bra for lactating ‘millennimoms’

Abstract

idea will be to take the approach of Morris, Park and Sarkar4 to find the design requirements of a nursing bra for millennial moms, but also to combine several features that they deem necessary into one bra--making it customizable. Park et al.2 proved that the practice of universal design for apparel products will not always necessarily yield to resulting in ‘design for all’ , but instead can yield to the ‘design for many’ motto; which means the apparel products will offer flexible fit and sizes to as many wearers as possible. They encouraged designers, students, and researchers to “explore their creativity and critical thinking skills in finding innovative design solutions for flexible and versatile apparel products”.2
