The History of the Bra

The history of the bra usually starts in 1913 when Mary Phelps Jacob, who is a socialite found that those bias garments that I was talking about earlier, her corset messed up the line of it. She and her maid concocted what was the first bra out of two handkerchiefs in some ribbon. It's just a little, a little peek into fashion from hundreds of years ago but also an eye opener too for folks who assumed that the bra was something that didn't develop until way, way after this.
