Method of making molded brassiere cup

An improved molded brassiere cup fabricated of an appropriate moldable fabric in a fabric-molding method comprising the steps of segregating from a supply source of moldable fabric utilized for said molded brassiere cup an operative portion thereof for use in contributing support to the ultimate molded shape of said brassiere cup, producing a lamination between said segregated operative fabric portion and a selected thermoplastic support material, die-cutting a cup-supporting patch out of said lamination, causing the adhering together at a selected nominal low temperature of said cup-supporting patch to said fabric utilized for said molded brassiere cup to such extent that said adherence therebetween both fixes said position of said cup-supporting patch on said fabric and contributes to the subsequent molding expansion of both in substantial conformance with each other, and simultaneously completing the adhering together of said cup-supporting patch to said fabric at a selected elevated temperature appropriate for the molding of said fabric and causing the molding of said fabric into a three-dimensional cup shape, whereby said cup-supporting patch adhered to said fabric during said three-dimensional shaping thereof is correspondingly imparted with a three-dimensional shape conforming to that of said fabric.
