9. The adjustable bra of claim 1 , wherein the bra garment is adjustable in an instance in which the bra garment is worn.
10. The adjustable bra of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment mechanism defines a plurality of adjustment positions and each adjustment position corresponds to a different activity for which the adjustable bra is used.
11. A method of adjusting an adjustable bra, the method comprising:
providing the adjustable bra, the adjustable bra comprising:
a bra garment comprising two shoulder straps, an underarm strap, and at least one bra cup system,
wherein the at least one bra cup system comprises a pre-molded cup, a plurality of bra cup bands, and a bra cup linkage, the plurality of bra cup bands each attached to a bottom edge of the pre-molded cup at a first end and attached to the bra cup linkage at a second end,
wherein each shoulder strap of the two shoulder straps comprises a respective link system,
the adjustable bra further comprising an adjustment mechanism; and
a string system comprising at least one string, the at least one string coupled to each of the respective link system, the bra cup linkage, and the adjustment mechanism; and
engaging the adjustment mechanism such that a position of the adjustment mechanism is adjusted, which causes an adjustment of the at least one bra cup system and the shoulder strap.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting of the adjustment mechanism is achieved by an adjustment motor configured to adjust tension of the at least one string.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein engaging the adjustment mechanism comprises using at least one of voice, touch, and/or mobile device.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of bra cup bands are configured such that tension on each cup band of the plurality of bra cup bands is substantially equal.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising a channeling system comprising (a) a groove provided on an inner surface of an outer fabric of the adjustable bra and (b) a tube, the groove configured to receive the tube therein.
