The age groups of objects for the study weredivided into the early, middle and late 30s and analyzed withanaIytical methods such as an analysis of variance, a correlationanaIysis, a clustering analysis, a factor analysis, T-test, X²-test, etc.for those study data, which made it possible to identify the physicalcharacteristics of study objects to classifh the shapes of breasts,and design and make brassieres reflecting the tendency and effect of brassieres as well at the chararcteristics of brassieres.Subsequent findings are at follows. 1. As a result of analyzing breast shapes and physical characteristics by dividing the study groups for women in their 30sinto the early, middle and late 30s it is nderstood that the olderthey are, the larger the volume of breast with a tendoncy ofcorpulence on the area of breast as they have larger horizontal sizefor their upper body for the deposition of subcutaneous fat alongwith the low positioning of breasts. In addition, it showed that theeffect of cosmetic practices with convergence to the center andupward rearrangement for the breasts of the women in their early30s was rather high, at women in their 30s had a deal ofphenomena of opening wide and drooping downward with theconcurrent occurrence of outward direction and drooping for theirbreasts, and had large projection and volume of breasts. 2. Three types were drawn up from a result of classifying types of breasts for women on their 30s.Type 1 is the most frequent type of appearance with a distribution rate of 55%, had the second largest size for girth, width, droop, opening, projection and volume of breasts and pertains to 80A of cone shape. Type 2 has the smallest vertical size including the height, a drooping type with the largest breasts for droop, opening, milk reserving area,projection and volume of breasts as well as the largest of obesity of breast area such as girth,width and the like is a drooping type, and pertains to 85A, Type 3 had the second largest vertical size, is a type having the smallest among the three types for the degree of obesity of breast area, droop, opening,projection and volume of breasts, and pertains to a flat type, 75A 3. The recognition for the types of their own breasts for women in their 30s showed that drooping type I had the highest rate of 40.1%, followed by the cone type (25.6%), flat type (17.6%), drooping type Ⅱ(8.4%),projecting(4.4%) and gemispheric type (4.0%). 3. The recognition for the types of their own breasts for women in their 30s showed that drooping type I had the highest rate of 40.1%, followed by the cone type (25.6%), flat type (17.6%), drooping type Ⅱ(8.4%),projecting type (4.4%)and henmispheric type (4.0%)When the age groups are, however,divided into the early, middle and late 30s, women in thd early 30s considered theirs to be either a flat (29%) or a cone type (29%), those in the middle and late 30s either a drooping type (42%) or a cone type (25%), recognizing the variation of their breasts for the increase of age.In addition, a cone type was 87%for the mast desirable shape of their breasts regardless of age. 4. As a result of analyzing the evalution and satisfactory degree of their own breasts, they responded to the level of ordinary for the degree and satisfaction for the projection, opering and positiong of breasts as a whole, but showed they are dissatisfactory with recognizing the ongoing change as they aproach to the middle and late 30s. In addition, it showed that there was a corrlation between the degree and size of breast projection and the degree of satisfation. It showed that they thought their breasts to be big when they evaluate that their breasts were projected. 5. As a result of analyzing the effect of wearing brassiere and the degree of satisfation, the most important thing for the effect of wearing is in order of supporting, making breasts rich, making them appear natural shape, pulling them upward, etc. Considering by age however,it seemed they wanted to have a function of making their breasts rich for the early 30s, supporting and converging them for the middle and late 30s. 6.

As a result of analyzing the degree of recognizing the system of brassiere cup size, it seemed that it was necessary to have education and advertising for them to select proper brassiere for their size of shape as 78.5%of them responded that they do dnot exactly know regardless of age. Consequently,the result that 69.30% of the whole study objects was wearing a wrong size for them underlies such. 7. As a result of reviewing the preference of brassiere cup for women of thdir 30s, 40.9% preferred 3/4cup and 1/2cup sequentially.It seemed they came to preferred a type of brassier covering the whole breast for the fat disposition and breast drooping because of the increast of age. 8.The design reflecting the tendency and effect of wearing brassieres and the characteristics of breasts is as follows. The study brassiere I is 3/4 cup brassiere appropriate for the cone type for the type 1, the study brassiere Ⅱ, and the study brassiere Ⅲ, which is thought to be brassieres designed and made for the functionailities and aesthetic nature for each type.
