"The Wire"

The Wire Bra

The wire bra was designed in the 1500's

to restrain women's breast.

"weird", I thought, "as men always find 

a way to restrain us." Disclaimer no designer's

name was credited with this design.

In 1893 MarieTuex coined the wire bra as a 

breast supporter.

By 1907, the word Bra made its way to mainstream.

In 1912 Oxford Dictionary officially

accepted the word Brassiere as propper.

It would not be until 1913 when the Warner Lingerie company would accept a design by Marie Phelps as the standard bra construction that we know today. Even more astounding, is that it would take another 15 years to assign sizes A-D to this construction. 15 years with the same bra! Are you nuts?

It’s a thong thing

It's a Thong thing

The thong was first created as a

novelty item in 1939.  "

Mayor LaGuardia in his wisdom to create

 some sort of modesty directed the 

parlour dancers to cover up "wear undies

The ladies chose to wear this novelty item.

Thus bringing the new panty design main stream.

No designer accepted credit for the panties.

 In 1974 designer #RudiGernreich was

 the first designer to accept credit for this design.
