The History of Bras!

It wasn't Marks & Spencer, neither was it Victoria's Secret. Back in 1913, a woman named Caresse Crosby came up with the precursor of the two cup bra, glad it wasn't a three cup, eh? She sold the patent for her concept- two handkerchiefs sewn together with attached ribbon straps, and it was in that same year, the beginning of the 11.3 billion lingerie business was born! Can't imagine what kind of hold that would have for me Caresse!!
since then, Bras have definitely evolved (Thank God!). Did you know, Bras are manufactured by men!?, no neither did I.
