“The Dream”

Sketch of First Utility Bra Design

Every idea starts with a thought! And if that thought grows it becomes a dream.  Implementing that dream into reality is the stumper!  

I had an idea when I was around 23yrs old, single mom waitressing at a local restaurant.  

Side note:  If you have ever worked in the dinning industry before then you will be able to relate to how this concept entered my brain!

After almost every shift most of the staff would go out to the local bar to unwind and throw a few back!  I was no exception.  On more than one occasion I forgot my purse at the bar or my credit card!  And I can’t tell you how many times I washed my ID from being in my back jean pocket, to the point it cracked and ripped!  

So one evening I’m at work leaning against one of those big long but short coolers, and it hits me, like literally enters my brain that it would be so amazing to have a bra that had side pockets to store my ID, CC and or some money so I could be totally purse free when going out!  

Side Note:  This is literally at a time in my life when I was young naive and eager to go out meet people and just have a lot of fun!  My son was being watched by family members so that freed up my nights when I worked to go out afterwards.  

I instantly grabbed some paper and just sketched out what was in my head.   I told all my friends about it and of corse all my female buds loved it!  I recruited my older sister and best friend but even though she was all in the dream sat for many years!!
