ABSTRACT:
A method of grading a series of brassieres of like styling for women having the same body dimension except for breast sizes is provided. Each brassiere includes a pair of breast receiving cups for supporting the breasts of a woman, and body encircling components associated with the pair of breast receiving cups and sized to fit around the body of each woman. The method includes the steps of measuring the diaphragm dimension and body chest dimension of a woman having average sized breasts for the series of brassieres, determining by formula the breast size of the woman having average sized breasts based upon the measurements of the diaphragm and body chest dimensions, and reducing the size of the breast receiving cups while maintaining substantially the same the length of the body encircling components to accommodate a desired breast size of a second woman having less than the determined average breast size. The reducing step also includes reducing the depth dimension of the breast receiving cups in accordance with the reduction from the determined average breast size to the breast size to the desired breast size for the second woman, and reducing the overall perimeter of the cups in accordance with desired breast size for the second woman by (1) maintaining substantially the same lower arcuate extent of the cups so that the length of the body encircling component remains substantially the same and, (2) reducing the remainder of the parameter of the cups to the desired breast size.
