The history of brassieres is inextricably intertwined with the social
history of the status of women, including the evolution of style and changing
views of the body.
Straps on the bra can be settled to fit the shoulder of the woman wearing
it. Girls typically start wearing bras at ages 10–14. Women have used a different
of garments and devices to cover, restrain, or modify the display of breasts.
From the 17th century onwards, the undergarments of wealthier women were
dominated by the corset, which pushed the breasts upwards. In the latter part
of the 20th century, various alternatives were experimented with, splitting the
corset into a girdle-like restraining device for the lower torso, and
transferring the upper part to devices canceled from the shoulder.
Early in the late 19th century, the bra has replaced the corset as the maximum
widely accepted method for supporting breasts. By the early 20th century,
garments more nearly resembling contemporary bras had emerged, although big-scale
commercial production did not occur till the 1934s. Since then bras has
replaced corsets (although some women prefer camisoles) and a minority go
without. Brassieres are a multi-billion-dollar industry dominated by big multinational
corporations. During the 20th century, the emphasis on brassiere usage has
shifted from functionality to fashion. bra is now more important things all
over the world for women. I think now without bra it is impossible to go
outside for the women.
