Abstract Different bra cup inner surface leads to different capacity and style in dress. As a result, it is important
to consider inner surface and its capacity in bra cup designing. In this paper, molded cup with wires is
viewed as the research subject: its 3D model is rebuilt in Geomagic Studio, and its capacity is defined
and measured in Unigraphics. Then a wearing experiment is conducted where one model wears molded
cup bras of same size but different inner surfaces to study bra push-up and upgrade function and by
analyzing the difference between cup capacity and breast volume. The research result is that the bigger
di®erence between cup capacity and breast, the greater its influence on breasts. Moreover, with similar
total bra cup capacity, the push-up and upgrade functions of bra cups in different degrees are presented.
Furthermore, molded bra cup is split to blocks and analyzed in order to examine the impact on different
functions. There is a certain guiding principle to inner surface shape design of molded bra cup.
