If I had a bra brand...

If I had a bra brand, I would use index sizes. I would have a straight-forward naming system for the models (like certain endings meaning plunge, halfcup, etc...). The naming thing would be super cool, I think. Samanta has a cool system going on, but it is confusing because model numbers aren't unique. There is a certain style/theme that is named, and they have it in their multiple cuts which are numbers. So there is a Mintaka A124 and a Mintaka A330. And they are pretty different but have the same name. I think that is a cool system as they have the same design in many styles, but it gets confusing (especially to add to Bratabase, LOL).

I would have weird franken-names. Say the suffix "-ella" meant "plunge" and "-iana" meant half cup. I could have a base design called "Prim" (I have no idea how I thought up that name lol). The bras could be called Primella and Primiana. You would know they are the same design, and also immediately know what style it is in based on the name, which is more succinct than "Prim Plunge" and "Prim Halfcup." Especially if there are cuts that are hard to distinguish in a name, like what Samanta makes. And, sister cuts would be immediately apparent.

Model numbers would follow the same pattern as names, so they would be unique but it's a logical system. "Prim" design is 001-. Plunge is -01 and halfcup -02. Primella is 00101 and Primiana is 00102. Or maybe cuts could be letter combinations.

I don't know, this just sounds so cool to me. The hardest part would be making up names that go with anything! If this already exists, I'd be amazed.
