A Study on the Pressure Comfort of Moulded Cup Bra Wires on Female Breast

The moulded cup bra became popular amongst female customers for its comfort and shaping performance. However, it is found that the uncomforting phenomenon in wearing moulded cup bra with wires occurs according to the survey. In the paper, based on the relation between the moulded bra cup and the wire, three kinds of cup style (low-gore cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup) are selected, and each of which is matched with four different wires respectively. Eight subjects whose breast size is 75B are selected to do the wearing experiment and subjective evaluation through wearing assembled moulded cup bras. The most satisfied wire fit each cup style is obtained. Besides, the range of gathering and pushing-up function is divided through objective measurement. As a result, the pressure effect of different style wires on moulded bra cup is analyzed with the pressure measurement experiment.
