Bras are such an integral part of our everyday lives, but have you ever wondered about the origins of the almighty brassiere? Check out our brand-new video that charts the history of the bra from the first bra in Roman times (a tightly wrapped cloth, created to make breasts appear smaller because the Romans didn't particularly enjoy them—rude, huh?), to the lacy little underthings we wear today. While it seems crazy to us now to hide our natural feminine shape, feelings towards breasts and therefore bras varied from era to era. Take a look at how bras have transitioned throughout history—and hey, you might even find yourself wanting to bring some of them back!
