Foraker's contributions to the development of Apollo's A7L spacesuit for the Apollo program is arguably her most notable contribution at ILC. Designed by seamstresses and engineers of ILC, it differed significantly from suit designs put for bid in competing RFPs. Designs by seamstresses in the Playtex division resulted in a spacesuit with a 21-layer design, sewn and glued together. Its softness and flexibility were in stark contrast to the rigid suits put forth by competing military designers and engineers. The spacesuit had to be able to withstand immensely cold and hot temperatures, be flame resistant, and protect the wearer from harmful atmospheric conditions. They needed to have a seam allowance of less than one sixty-fourth of an inch.
