Abstract
There are disclosed brassieres designed to provide better fit for smaller (e.g. less than average) busted women and a method of grading such brassieres. The cups of the brassieres for smaller busted woman include longer upper and lower perimeter sections than heretofore employed and shorter body encircling members. There is also disclosed a method of grading these brassieres from a fitted prototype brassiere of average bust capacity. It includes the steps of reducing the depth of the breast receiving components without decreasing the length of the arc along the lower sections thereof; and maintaining substantially the same length of the body encircling means.
