Problem:Throughout various urban areas there are anti-homeless places around the city. In front of buildings and under bridges are anti-homeless preventions such as spikes, and benches divided in the middle.Around Boston there are homeless shelters that people can go to but they fill up quickly which leads to many people sleeping in the streets. Theses people are often moved by police.

Solution: We approached this problem by creating a wearable hammock that is comfortable,convenient and fashion forward.The wearable hammock is a dress that is fashionable. The dress can be worn throughout the day inside the dress is a pocket that contains a hammock for the bottom half of the body, at the top of the dress are shoulder pads that store the top half of the hammock.
