Practical Bra Construction

May 1st 2007 00:30
bra
Imagine taking a University course on how to design and build women's bras!

All such things are possible at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University where you can do a degree in 'Bra Studies'.

Recently students completing a course in "Practical Bra Construction" were able to display some of their work for the ACE Style Institute of Intimate Apparel's Exhibition at the ITC Resource Centre.

Just what will they think of next!

That`s quite a good thing considering how long we have to spend wearing the damn things!

MelissaA,

now there's course I think I could actually pass with flying colors!

Of course I would have to have the final "pat down" to insure that every student was properly "fitted"! lol

What a wonderful post to wake up to!

Where can I sign up as an assistant? lol


Great blog!


Take care,


Nick

So I can go back to school for a BoOB degree (Bachelor of Overstuffed Brassieres)? "Honestly, Officer, I wasn't groping her- it was my homework assigment!!"

I wonder how much of the course deals with the fine balance between practicality and visual appeal- many of the bras that are advertised are obviously meant to be seen in; the ladies and transvestites I've asked about give mixed results regarding their comfort.

It's a relevant topic - ever seen pictures of bras from the 70s? They're like iron gauntlets! You've come a long way...

If they have a dedicated educational course why are the damn things still so uncomfortable at the end of the day - obviously they are being designed by men.
With the increasing occurance of "man boobs" maybe they should have to wear them too !

Oh well, at least I didn't make a boob out of myself for posting it. ; )

I think that would be a great course, because I love wearing my bras. And I have some great ideas to improve bras so they give better support.
