Sit back and enjoy the trend on how the bra evolved.

14th Century: The First Bandeau
Until 1300s, Women were generally bare breasted under simple sheath dresses. Wall paintings depicted them wearing bandeau-like tops (for support — or to cover up!) while playing sports.

Hmm..

16th Century: Age of the Corset
The first major shift in women's undergarments was the corset. Women in France embraced it in the early 1500s to achieve the perfect female figure — an inverted cone shape. They flattened women's breast, pushing them upward — almost to the point where they were falling out of their dresses.
So how did they get their stiff shape? Most were made with a long piece of wood (busk) or whalebone sewn into the casing. Sounds painful, but these body-cinching contraptions were popular for the next four centuries.

Edwardian Era: Here Come the Girdles
In the late 19th century, we finally saw a shift from corsets to an early form of what we now call a girdle. The weaving and busk moved from the back to the front, forcing the torso forward and the hips to jut outward, making a woman's figure more of an "S" shape.

Pressing b**by and reading

1869: The Corset Is Split
In France, the first modern bra was born, called the corselet gorge ("the well-being.", when Herminie Cadolle cut a corset into two separate undergarments — the top supported the breasts by means of straps, while the lower part was a corset for the waist. In 1905, they started selling these new "bras" alone.

1907: The "Brassiere" Is Born
Vogue uses the word "brassiere" for the first time. It was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 1911.

1910: The Modern Bra
Even after the corset and bra were officially split, there was still the issue of comfort. Enter Mary Phelps Jacob, who invented the first modern bra with a pair of silk handkerchiefs and silk ribbons — sans the stiff whalebone.

Nowadays ladies no longer wear bra again

1920s: The Look Is Flat
Small-chested and slender-bodied flappers took over in the Roaring Twenties, and they ditched the corsets almost completely. Instead, they opted for tight bandeau tops that flattened women's breasts to give them a more boyish shape.

1932: Cup Sizes Emerge
In the 1930s, the brassiere is eventually shortened to the common "bra" and large-scale production begins.
But more importantly, cup sizes become a thing. S.H. Camp and Company correlated sizes of a woman's breasts to letters of the alphabet (A through D). Adjustable bands and eyehooks were also added to these new bras.

1940s: Torpedo Style
During World War II, more and more women were working in factories. Thus, the bullet/torpedo-shaped bra gained popularity because of claims that it offered added protection for gals who worked on the production lines.

Hmmm

OK I for say

that year wey I de press chichi breast_ ,no bra

e soft

1950s: Sweater Girl
The look was popularized by actresses like Jane Russell Marilyn Monroe, which gave off the appearance of a bigger cup size.

1964: The Pushup Bra
A Canadian lingerie company designs the Wonderbra — the first of its kind to lift and push the bustline together.

1967: Hello Mrs. Robinson
Undergarments played a key role in The Graduate, thanks to Anne Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson. Not only does she reveal a, well, revealing leopard-print brassiere, but she also rocks a lacy black number, too.

2009: Today
The 2000s brought an onslaught of new designs like strapless, one strap, and even a resurgence of corset bras. You can even buy cups made with memory foam that conform to the shape of your chest.

And today .... Perhaps you should be the judge.

very soon we will be back to no bras just as God intended.....Nice.
