1. A brassiere fitting method comprising; measuring the torso immediately below the breast; measuring the breast volumes; measuring the breast diameters; and correlating said torso measurement, breast volume measurements, and breast diameter measurements to one or more functional characteristics of a brassiere, said characteristics being selected from the group consisting of the lifting, shaping and covering characteristics of a brassiere; and visualizing said correlation to the user in a multidimensional space, characterized in that the torso measurement, breast volume measurements, and breast diameter measurements are plotted in a multidimensional space determined by the functional characteristics of the brasserie, and consisting of three two-dimensional graphs with the volume Y-axis as common denominator, wherein;
a first plot represents the lifting characteristics of the brassiere with length a as x-axis and volume as y-axis, a second plot represents the shaping characteristics of the brassiere with length b as x-axis and volume as y-axis, a third plot representing the covering characteristics of the brassiere with % coverage as x-axis and volume as y-axis;and wherein volume is based on the cup volumes, length a is based on the circumference of the brassiere, length b is based on the underwire diameter, and coverage is represented as the percentage of the surface of the parabolic of revolution covered by the cup, wherein the parabolic of revolution is the geometrical space set by the dimensions of the cup. |
