Science cannot really give us a hard date, but they say approximately 3000 years B.C... "Really."Now I have one of those minds that like to wonder about things, things like what was really going on under those Togas. Ha! I dare you to think about it. So, way back in Egypt scientists say several terracotta figurines were found he and there around the eastern area. Close enough right? A material called "Lion" cloth evidence proves was one of the first actual materials used (I don't know how) lol, for lingerie purposes.
See, I'm still back a few sentences ago wondering about what was really going on under those Togas. Can't get past it. Ok, think about it, royalty or not there were NO razors, bic shavers, double edge, triple edge razors and for damn sure there was NO Brazilian waxing! LoL, see ugh what a hot mess that must have been. What do you think? So I wonder, I say SELF, what do you think they thought sexy was. I mean cable T.V. goes pretty far out there to make those times pretty sexy. All those armpits and legs "I" saw were pretty shaven.
So anyway, back to Egypt. Chemise material along with our beloved corsets were introduced in the 4th and 16th centuries. (Where did 5-15 go?) Stay on the facts, stay on the facts. Chemise was typically worn under petticoats. NOW were finally getting somewhere! Medieval Times. Now it is said that this time period is wear tailoring all began. Woman started to wear slightly tighter fitting under garments. (Thank God.) Now in the early 20th century a woman called Mary Phelps-Jacobs came up with a brilliant idea.
Her idea and design was to tie (2) silk handkerchiefs one to another with ribbon straps and a seam in center front. Waa La a brazier was born. So being a smart gal she sold her invention to the bra company we all know of still today, Warner's. The first sizes available were A,B and C up to as late as 1935. So there you go. What happened today? Well, we went from 3000B.C., all the way to 1935, and today's untouchable styles and colors and materials all began with (2) little silk hankies, and some ribbon. Goes to show you if you put your mind to it, anything can happen.
Whats my motto ladies? Too little time, too much to buy. Shop till ya drop. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
