Plus: The Considerate Coat for Pregnant Women

A Gift for Pregnant Women

Plus, designed by Liyuan Bao, is a revolutionary coat that addresses the challenges faced by pregnant women in finding suitable clothing. Unlike traditional maternity clothes that are only worn for the duration of pregnancy, Plus can be worn before, during, and after delivery. This eliminates the need for women to purchase separate maternity clothes, saving them both money and resources.

One of the unique features of Plus is the special compensation fabric it incorporates. At the time of purchase, the coat provides compensation that can be adjusted to accommodate the changing body shape of pregnant women. As the pregnancy progresses, the compensation fabric expands, ensuring a comfortable fit. After delivery, when the woman's figure returns to normal, the compensation fabric can be removed, allowing the coat to adapt to the regular body shape.

Additionally, the excess compensation fabric can be used as a collar, providing warmth and adding a stylish element to the coat. This innovative design not only reduces waste but also offers practical functionality.

The Plus coat is designed with the specific needs of pregnant women in mind. It is aimed at women around the age of 26, who are most likely to decide to have children. By providing a versatile and adaptable clothing option, Plus offers care and support to these young women throughout their journey into motherhood.

The development of Plus was not without its challenges. Liyuan Bao and the design team faced limitations in terms of funds and facilities, which impacted the physical production of the clothes. However, they were able to overcome these obstacles by focusing on the key design points and ensuring the coat met the necessary requirements.

Plus was created as a solution to the economic burden and resource waste associated with traditional maternity clothes. By incorporating a compensatory fabric and a versatile design, Plus offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. This innovative coat has been recognized for its practicality and innovation, receiving the Iron A' Design Award in 2019 in the Fashion, Apparel, and Garment Design category.

With Plus, Liyuan Bao has not only provided a functional and stylish coat for pregnant women but also contributed to a better world by promoting sustainability and resource conservation.
