- Abstract
An in-depth study of bra pattern designs based on the existing bodice blocks was conducted to improve bra fit. The two popular bra prototypes, D's and Y's prototypes developed based on the existing bodice blocks for adult women, were first analyzed to understand their structural differences. Four bra samples were created and modified with respect to the standard shape and size of 75 B female mannequin breasts to compare the fit of the two bra prototypes. The fitness of these four bra samples was then tested on the mannequin and also on a real model of the same size. The examples demonstrated in the paper illustrate the principles and procedures for designing good-fit bras, and the bodice blocks using to develop bra prototypes in this study can also be replaced and widespread applied in other kind of bodice blocks in the future.
