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.

But Cato said that her 6-in-1 bra still wasn't the perfect version of the bra.

"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.

"The bra is held up by the shoulder straps," explained Cato. "It is made of lightweight microfiber fabric that is soft to the touch, with seamless molded foam cups that deliver smooth shaping under clothes. Combining that with a two-way stretch technology, the bra provides a maneuverable fit with excellent flexibility."

The bra comes in sizes 34B through 38DD; Cato said that it was designed with a full-figured woman in mind.

"The bra allows women with even large busts to flaunt their sexy backs like never before!" said Cato.
