The history of the bra is as fascinating as it is diverse. For centuries, women across different cultures found creative ways to shape and support the body. Ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans used simple bands of fabric to provide support during daily life. In the Middle Ages, corsets became the dominant garment, tightly shaping the torso to fit the beauty standards of the time.

The modern bra as we know it began to take shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1914, Mary Phelps Jacob patented the first modern brassiere, made from handkerchiefs and ribbons. This invention provided women with a more comfortable and practical alternative to the restrictive corset. Over the decades, the bra evolved not only in function but also in fashion—reflecting changes in lifestyle, women’s rights, and even cultural shifts.

Today, bras are more than just undergarments; they are an expression of personal style, comfort, and confidence. From delicate lace designs to functional everyday wear, the bra has become a staple of women’s wardrobes worldwide.
