Aspects herein are directed to a support garment testing system comprising a torso form having a motion tracking sensor associated with one or more breast structures of the torso form. A support garment is secured to the torso form, and the torso form is mounted on a motion platform that, when actuated, causes displacement of the breast structures. The amount of displacement is measured by the sensor, and the data is used to assign a level of support provided by the support garment. Des aspects de la présente invention concernent un système de test de vêtement de maintien comprenant une forme de torse possédant un capteur de suivi de mouvement associé à une ou plusieurs structures de poitrine de la forme de torse. Un vêtement de maintien est fixé à la forme de torse, et la forme de torse est montée sur une plateforme de mouvement qui, lorsqu'elle est actionnée, provoque le déplacement des structures de poitrine. La quantité de déplacement est mesurée par le capteur, et les données sont utilisées pour attribuer un niveau de maintien fourni par le vêtement de maintien.
