Before
the Bra...The Corset was King (Queen)
The history of the Bra is not long since women's bras are a quite
modern social artifact. Prior to the invention of the Bra, women either wore corsets or a
simple chemise or wrapping. As in most things, history often repeats itself and one
can easily observe the direct linkage between an ancient garment, the corset, and a modern
invention, the push-up bra. Although technologically, the push-up bra is far
superior in design, construction and comfort, both garments had the same uplifting effect
on a woman's breasts. However, the corset was very uncomfortable and with the
invention of the blouse, a need appeared for a better type of breast undergarment. The
first Bra was invented in in the late 1800's but the early versions were more form
flattening rather than flattering. The early inventors were most likely trying to develop
a garment that was more comfortable and healthful than the corset with little thought to
inventing something that would make women look sexier. In fact, the breast flattening
style remained popular even through the era of the roaring twenties but abruptly changed
to the present breast enhancing form during the thirties and forties. This abrupt change
was not co-incidentally occurring during another time of great world social upheaval in
both the Depression and World War II. If you were wondering why its called a Bra, the term
became popularized from a controversial lawsuit over patent rights in the 1930's between a
French designer and garment maker named Phippipe De Brassiere and an American garment
inventor. The American lost the lawsuit, the garment received widespread national and
worldwide publicity and the name was shortened to Bra by the media and thus became
institutionalized. A great deal has happened since then and two trends were
emerging. Even after falling out of favor for awhile, bras would definitely make a
big comeback; and two, busts were moving upward and outward, one way or another.
