The bra was invented in 1912 by a German-born engineer named Titzling.
He lives in a boarding house in New York, and one of his neighbors is a sexy opera singer named Swanhilda Olafsson. She complained that she needed a dress every night to lift her wide chest-so Titzling had to use some cotton, elastic and metal pillars.
Unfortunately, he did not apply for a patent for the device, and in the early 1930 s a Frenchman named Philip de blasiere began to make a similar suspicious object.
Tizlin took him to court, but the unscrupulous Frenchman won.
That\'s why all the clothes that ladies wear are called bras, not tits.
Bette Midler sang this court case in the movie \"beach\" so it\'s clear it\'s true, isn\'t it?
Don\'t be ridiculous.

But its evolution dates back thousands of years.
Historians have found that while Roman women sometimes wear a cloth on their breasts to limit their growth or hide them, Greeks prefer less stressful methods.
Some enterprising designers realize that such a belt under the breast may aggravate the breast and have a pleasant effect. (
At the level of thought that makes the world a better place, there are light bulbs and indoor pipes. )
However, the shameless Minoans walked ahead of the Greeks: the women of Crete wore materials that both supported and exposed bare breasts, in the simulation of the snake goddess-3,000 years before the invention of the charm-shaped.
The French Revolution liberated women from the bodice.
It was declared illegal because of its fatal connection with the nobility)
Elsewhere, its rule continues.
At the beginning of the 20 th century, as women moved more, the corset was divided into a belt and a \"corset\", like a very scary bikini.

In 1910, Manhattan bought a pure evening dress for a party.

What did a girl do?
She and her maid dug two silk handkerchiefs from the drawer, sewn them on a pink ribbon, added some ropes, and hid her breasts.
The girlfriend asked her if she would make a similar device for them.

She was disappointed with sales and applied for the patent to Warner Bros. corset for $1,500.
It was worth $15 later.
In World War I, more and more women gave up their bodice because they first found themselves wearing uniforms and factory clothes.
The bra began to fall off-not the fashion of the time that brought it a lot. The flat-
The \"baffle\" of the chest appears to require a flat and combined chest, rather than a lift and definition.
The next Bra Revolution was a breakthrough in the form of Meiden in 1922.
In a New York store called Enid Frocks, Ida Rosenthal, a seamstress, found that women of the same chest size don\'t necessarily look right in the same bra because of the shape of the chest
So the size of the Cup was born.
Instead of trying to flatten the chest, they highlight and lift it, they bid farewell to the baffle, paving the way for future charm.
