Brassiere pad fabrication

In the method of fabricating a brassiere pad, the steps that include:

• (a) forming two generally circular sheet like blanks with notches having diverging edges, the blanks consisting essentially of lightweight fibrous batting and thermoplastic resin intermediate the fibers,
• (b) connecting together said diverging edges of each blank thereby to form said blank into a cone having a seam extending between the apex and the periphery of the cone,
• (c) nesting the two cones into conical contact so that the seam of one cone is effectively rotated about 180.degree. relative to the seam of the other cone, about an axis passing through the apices of the cones,
• (d) applying heat and pressure to the nested cones to compress them against one another and substantially reduce their combined thickness thereby effecting their interconnection through at least partial melting of said resin, to form the pad into the shape of a dome, and to increasingly reduce said combined thickness from the crest of the dome toward a looping periphery defined by the dome,
• (e) said connecting together of the diverging edges of a blank being accomplished by loosely stitching together portions of the blank adjacent said edges, by employing plastic thread.
