Systems and methods for raised impressions

Abstract

Described herein is a system and method for displaying a raised impression of a design through a cover, such as an overgarment or other material. For example, a star or other desired design may be covered by a garment in order to display a raised impression of the design without exposing the entire design. Such raised impressions can serve many purposes including a method for women to attract males, advertising, to protest, serve as a reminder, notice to others, or other similar uses where raised impressions provide a means to convey a message. Such raised impressions provide a means to convey messages without explicitly broadcasting the message.
