This application claims priority from US Patent the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference design patent application now utility for the lu•mi•nous; the backless bra top.
Colors: the backless bra top can be provided in neutral colors such as: black, brown, beige, pink, cream, white and grey that can blend in with and be worn interchangeably with a large number of other garments.
Filed of the Invention
The reason I designed the lu•mi•nous is because I could not wear a bra anymore, due to my digestive diseases and I could not find one item in the market to suit my needs.
There are backless bras and bra tops but there are not any backless bra tops; this would be the first backless bra top to market, thereof ergo incorporating existing elements, enhancing, expanding, and improving upon to create the designed invention of the said utility garment. The bra tops have a full bra in them and the band gives restrictions on my back and having a full bra band digs into my chest and hurts my inside digestive issues.
I believe not just people with digestive and health issues but all people will love this item.
Why else is the anti acid area in any drug store isles and isles long . . . ?
There are items such a corsets or shape wear but they suck in the core area and that can cause stimulating pain to our insides, push up the breast, that can hurt, and there is nothing in the market place, like the lu•mi•nous, the backless bra top for health.
There are backless bras but they are always strapless. Again, having the full bra band is very restricting and uncomfortable, for people with health issues and in general!
Do you know how uncomfortable it is to wear a strapless bra . . . ?
And not having straps on the strapless bra or backless bra, especially having larger breasts, the wearer's breasts can sag.
That's why the lu•mi•nous has straps made out of bungie cord, to hold up the breasts, as a strapless bra does not, and the lu•mi•nous is also for health comfort.
The lu•mi•nous is for health and a way to wear a bra without restrictions on the back or pressure and pain on the core; a backless bra top, fun, fit and fashion for health and even though it is not a shape wear top, it is not a classic backless bra, and it still gives a seamless look with support.
It relives double cleavage in the front, it relieves back rolls, the side bulge, underwire pressure, digging straps, and is a beautiful garment to wear under clothing or as an outer top. Even slender ladies, if their bras are too snug, they can run into the same issues, could use and need, not just want, the lu•mi•nous.
the lu•mi•nous will come in all comfy, form fitting, and breathable fabrics such as: microfibre, jersey knit, brushed cotton, Lycra, spandex, and such! Once the first camisole style of the lu•mi•nous, backless bra top, fun, fit and fashion for health is launched and first sold in market, we will branch out into: the lu•mi•nous, short sleeved fitted tops, long sleeved fitted tops, tank tops, ribbed tanks, tube tops, even bathing suits, tankini's, and more!
I am ecstatic to bring this product to market for people with digestive diseases, such as me, and have challenges wearing traditional bra products, full figures for added comfort and smooth curves, petite, and regular missy size ladies, and to help all.
Eventually I would like to design waistbands (many in the marketplace have elastic, construction, thickness, or restrictions for classic leggings, capris, yoga pants, and there such) bottom pants and underwear that fits in this same comfort genre and realm; along with men's products.
the lu•mi•nous, the backless bra top; fun, fit, fashion for health!

I'm beyond enthralled to share this wellness vigor product with the world not just because it is fun, fit, and fashion but because it is for health. It is going to help people's well-being to be in good conditions with shape and strength.
Bra straps and the back band can be painful for any woman (regular, petite, or plus), especially someone who has diseases (GERD, Hiatus Hernia, Barrette's esophagus, back pains, and what have).
I went from store to store to look for a backless bra top for well being and health strengths but could not find anything; every item had a similar bra top but all had a back band and that would not be beneficial because it digs in, causes pain and pressure on the internal organs and muscles (front and back of body) or every other item that does have a backless bra is built in not an insert, not for health, but only for shape wear, to lift the breasts or holster the body in to make it look slimmer, that would not be supportive to cure the curves of health, so this is why I created, invented and designed the lu•mi•nous, as there is nothing else out there to utilize like it (others have back bra bands or shapewear, built in and without bungee straps; nothing like the lu•mi•nous; the backless bra top, fun, fit and fashion for our health) and/or is for shape wear not to assist in the state of being that's free from illness or injury to relieve pain, as the lu•mi•nous does). the lu•mi•nous gives a smooth look for all figures, those with diseases, those who are petite and have a challenging time finding a bra that fits just right, regular people who like fun, fit, and fashion, for health; then I came across a full figured, thick large, and lovely lady with skin rolls hanging over the back of the bra (known as: back cleavage) and realized this product will be wonderful for them, to give release of the pressure on the back and the front, internal organs what have said thereas forth.
the lu•mi•nous is timeless, that is not just fun, fit, fashion but for health.
Diseases (original invention for but evolved into an organic design for all) health product to heal the cure for curves.
These are one of those products that people say, why didn't I come up with it first . . . ?
Added assisting notes:
backless to assist in the state of being that's free from illness or injury
bungee for sturdy easing support
full bra size range for inserts and tops
seamless smooth look, curves, comfort, and a nice fit
backless bra top insert enhance and accentuate best features
Target Market(s):
ladies
tween, preteen, junior
petite
regular, missy
plus full figured
Diseases (original invention for but evolved into an organic design for all)
Therefore concluded, classic traditional bras, bra tops, and strapless bras have a band that hurts and can dig the inside organs of the body, along with non flattering seams nor built in and sew in bras, but the lu•mi•nous does not because the lu•mi•nous is backless, removable and seamless. Furthermore in conclusion, backless bras do not have straps and the breasts can sag but the lu•mi•nous does not because the lu•mi•nous has bungee straps for comfort and support. The bottom line, the lu•mi•nous is a backless bra top; fun, fit and fashion for health!
