Bra Styling

Todays Brassieres are made of many different materials including cotton, rayon, silk, spandex, polyester, and lace. They are available in many styles from cups that come without any padding (and are quite sheer) to those that add significantly to the size and shape of the cup. A woman can alter her silhouette by simply purchasing a brassiere with cups that are designed to render a specific shape.

Bra Manufacturing

Various significant aspects of brassiere manufacturing are covered, e.g. bra design, molding technology, and manufacturing automation. Bra design is substantial to brand product development while innovative molding technology is the key to signature types of bras like a sew-free bra, seamless bra, and one-piece bra. Automation has been a global trend in manufacturing as it reduces the labor cost and, on the other hand, enhances the consistency in product quality.

History of Brassieres

They are sized according to a universal grading system first introduced by Ida Rosenthal, the founder of Maidenform, in 1928. Two measurements are crucial to determining brassiere size: the chest circumference and the fullest part of the breast.

Significance and use of seam on Garments
