The other day I came to mind a research and share the short story with you :)
Who invented the bra? A female figure wearing the oldest bra, M.S. 3. although seen in a Sicilian mosaic dating back to the century, in the past, especially in the upper part of the waist, the underwear usually covered a very large area and the body was tightly wrapped. These are 19. at the end of the century, they left their place on the corset.
It all began with the first bra that Mary Phelps Jacobs planted with Marie, the French Maid, because her corset didn't fit in with the new dress in 1913. Jacobs gave a few of his friends a gift from his new invention, which he received in a letter asking for the patent right. In November 1914 Jacobs patented a few hundred bra produced. He sold his Jacobs patent to Warner Brothers corset for $ 1,500, which could not overcome marketing problems.
Corsets 16. from the second half of the century, European women had become casual clothes. 18. the corset, which began to be worn with women's clothes, began to shrink from the face of the 18th century. at the end of the 20th century, although a period was abandoned with long, narrow, body-wrapped woolen, cotton clothes, Jupiter, blue skirts and corset covering the belly and stomach was the 19th century. it's back in the century. For the first time in this period, the production of carrier corsets in the form of bowl instead of the upper part of the corset that pushed the breasts down. In fact, during this period, various bra styles were developed as a separate part of the corset in France and in the USA. In the United States, since 18401, patents have been filed. In 1898, hermenie Cadolle, the corset producer in France, produced a bra that was between today's form. The French word “southern-gorgen”, used for the first time in 1904, was derived from the word “silence” in the meaning of keeping, supporting and carrying. The development of women's freedom movements, health concerns and the need to work with women in the First World War, began to disappear from the corset, separate from the corset, lighter and more practical toploses were produced.
From the 1920s, clothing that brought out from the appearance of a male child from the ancient war period, made the breast clear and made the waist narrow. With this style, the bra became so pervasive that women were not affected by fashion. The use of elastic fabrics in the 1920s, the production of the first factory in 1928, and the 1930's without hanged bras and standard sizes began. The Hollywood films of the 1950s were effective in the spread of bra around the world. Those who remember how effective Madonna was in busty fashion will be able to deliver the effect of Hollywood stars on the spread of bra. While the bra was burned during the 1968 student movement, the bra manufacturer said time was on my side.
