Method and apparatus for shaping one or more glass sheets by supporting the glass sheet(s) on an outline mold having an upwardly facing outline shaping surface constructed and arranged to support the glass sheet's perimeter, heat sagging said glass sheet to conform its periphery to the upwardly facing outline shaping surface and continuing to support said sagged glass sheet on the outline shaping surface while simultaneously engaging the upper major surface of the heat softened glass sheet throughout essentially its entire extent against the downward facing full-faced shaping surface of a vacuum mold to develop a final desired shape onto the glass sheet.
