...Maidenform has revealed the Backless Bra designed by Elaine Cato, a native of Nashville, and runner up of ABC's American Inventor last June. Though she didn't win the $1 million dollar grand prize this bra should
prove to be her own personal stake to fame.
Cato said she came up with the idea when looking for a bra to wear with a backless pantsuit for a New Year's Eve party. "
But since I had last worn it, bra-less, I had two children, and my cup size had changed." She couldn't find a backless bra anywhere, so she sat down at her dining room table to design one herself, taking apart one of her regular bras and to create a new backless version, which she further developed on "American Inventor" as the 6-in-1 bra.
addressing her loss on American Inventor Cato says
"
The problem with it was that there was an unattractive and unwanted bulge on the sides of the bra that I couldn't get rid of. It looked a bit bulky, though it worked."
Once she started working with Maidenform, she finally had the resources that she needed in order to perfect the design, she said.
