Do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Thanks to a little piece of wire, some lace straps, and cups (not the porcelain kind) this hasn’t been an issue for a century now.
Happy 100th birthday bra!
Vogue first wrote about bras in 1907, when they were simply around for function and comfort. Nowadays, even members of the itty-bitty-t*tty committee get pleasure out of bra shopping, so much so that it’s become an important part of everyday fashion.
You know what I mean, like when you’re feeling sneaky, sultry, and seductive in an oversized hoodie because shhh, you’ve got your ‘unstrap me or else’ black lace bust booster on underneath. Hellooo, why do you think they call it Victoria’s Secret???
The clever contraption’s birthday comes at the perfect time, with the ever-so-popular Victoria’s Secret fashion show on tonight. (Airs on CBS at 10!)
In a college culture where any silly event is morphed into a full-on blowout boozin’ binge bash, I think I’ve already heard of four different VS viewings tonight, each with a lingerie dress code and lots and lots of champagne.
What better reason to break out the bubbly than a b-day for brassieres?

Actually, there is some debate about who invented the bra. Some say it was Mary Phelps Jacob in 1914. Others say it was Olivia P. Flynt in 1876. You can see their actual patent submissions below in “The History of Lingerie” and decide for yourself:
