发帖数: 7349 | 1 The bust bodices of the early 20th Century were the earliest incarnation of
the brassiere, but it was not until the 1930s that the bra as we know it
today emerged.
This cotton-and-silk creation by John J Roussel was made in France. “The
technique created a softly rounded, natural profile,” says Edwina Ehrman.
“The materials and shape of the bra reflect the feminine silhouette and
lithe, body-conscious fashions of the 1930s.”
The design also reflected changing society, as women wanted lightweight,
practical but pretty underwear, that did not need the help of a maid to take
on and off. (Credit: Brassiere of bobbin lace in cotton, designed by John J
