Breast cups having various types of cuts or configurations are initially
molded from basically flat sheets of flexible fabric on a bust cup mold
having a prescribed configuration. The resulting, three-dimensional molded
fabric cup then is cut by a die having a plurality of cutting surfaces, at
least a portion of the outermost cutting surfaces serving as guides for
alignment with the outer perimeter of the molded cup and a portion of the
cutting surfaces cutting the molded breast cup to the desired shape
resulting in a breast cup having a size and configuration differing from
that of a bust cup initially molded.
