Every day, putting on your bra, you hardly think about who you need to thank for such an invention. Meanwhile, this underwear has a relatively young age. It was invented at the beginning of the last century, and the first patent for an invention called Caresse Crosby was obtained by an American Mary Phelps Jacobs 3 September 1913 of the year. Later it was this date that became known as the bra day.
Let us go back in time to recall the details of long past events.
How did the story of the bra
We can say that the path to the emergence of the first bra on the planet began even ancient Egyptian. If you carefully study the images of those years, you can see that tightly tied ribbons are drawn on the female figures under the breast. In ancient Egypt, for the first time, ladies have guessed that it is possible with the help of simple manipulation to improve the forms presented by nature.
In fact, until the first prototypes of the bra appeared, it was still very far away, and the day of the underwear was not celebrated then, because they did not invent special items for intimate wardrobe. The epoch followed the epoch, but for many centuries neither women, nor men thought about what to wear under outerwear. The decision was typical - lower shirt.
And only in the 18 century changes began to occur, which only hinted that a coup might happen in the ladies' wardrobe. At this time, the first corsets appear - that is, products, with the help of which a woman could for the first time give a figure more elegance and beauty. Finally, we come close to the cherished date. At the turn of the 19 and 20 centuries, something incredible happens: the corset turns into two different products, and the expression “underwear” appears in everyday life. And although in practice women could already wear something resembling a modern bra, the day of the bra could be celebrated after a patent was first obtained for such an invention.
Merit Mary Phelps Jacob: What did the American come up with
Let's look at the question of what exactly came up with an American who could even patent the invention. It turns out that a brilliantly simple solution occurred to her - to create a tape and two handkerchiefs for breast support. At first, no one was particularly interested in such a novelty. The blessing that the spouse of the American was the enterprising person.
He just worked in a company that produces corsets. Therefore, I decided to offer my management a novelty. Having bought a patent from Mary, the company was able to get rich. Celebrating today bra day, it is interesting to know how much the couple Phelps Jacob saved for the invention. They were paid a tidy sum at the time - 1,5 thousands of dollars. To understand how fabulous the figure was, let's call the cost of the car for that period 260 dollars.
It is curious that for many years underwear did not have its current name. In Western countries, it was called a soft corset, and in the USSR - a bust holder. Initially, it was sewn from fabrics such as satin, damask, madarols. But familiar to us cups and straps appeared in bras only for 30-40 years thanks to a certain Madame Ida Rosenthal.
By the way, on the day of the bra is interesting to know another fact. Let's wonder how much the corset company could earn, which bought the patent from the light hand of her husband Mary. It turns out, having gotten generous in the purchase, the company only won due to this. After all, she was able to unleash the goods, selling it in total for thirty years of existence in the amount of fifteen million dollars. And today, thanks to the useful invention, modern women can buy bras in bulk for every taste and for every body type.
Types of women's bras
Now it is much easier for women to diversify their wardrobe, not thinking about how I can wear heavily trimmed or transparent clothes, because now there is underwear literally under any neckline. We decided to find out what types of bras are and what they are for:
Balconette Bra has a low cup, located on the same level. The “balconette” model can be risky for girls with large breasts, because it opens the upper part of the breast and does not fix it as well as the closed bra models. For breasts with cups A or B in size, balconette bras with push up effect are suitable. In a dress or top, the strapless balconette bodice will beautifully accentuate even a small chest.
When choosing a bra, choose by size, remember that you can wear it no more than twelve hours a day, it should not overpress the chest. It is better to choose the color of clothes together, together choosing the appropriate types of panties. If you are not going to a party, then you should not draw attention to your linen, it is better to leave it to dessert for your prince. Bella does not happen much, if the funds allow, then buy - you will not regret!
