History of Bras: Part 3~ Ancient To 1915

Who would think that Lara Croft would be retro? Film and TV have a way of capturing styles, no matter how old, and altering them into a modern fashion statement. It seems that everyone talks about Mary Phelphs-Jacobs patented bra in 1914, but what most people don't realize is that women were wearing bras back in the Cretan times. The bra image (below right) looks like something start out of Tomb Raider or something that a female gladiator would be wearing in Spartacus.

Thanks to Fashion-Era for the following post about early Bras.

Vogue Reports the First Brassiere 1907

Bra fashion history began as far back as Cretan times, but 1907, was the year when the word brassiere was first reported in an American copy of Vogue. The original French meaning was support, but the word was out of use and the French chose to call a bra soutien-gorge. Cretan women wore bras thousands of years ago. In England bust improvers were available in the Edwardian period. By 1905 BBs as they were known were usual wear. (Right - Reform Bodice Bra)

This is the early supposedly healthier Reform Bodice bra with mesh net cups that gave virtually no support.

Early Brassières Pre~1915

Most of the major designers of the era have tried to lay claim to designing the first bra. Poiret probably had the strongest claim. What is certain, is that all the designers promoted a simple breast retaining garment as better for the newer simple straight dress styles.

In the costume history of bras these early bras were similar to camisoles tops of the 1980s and 1990s. Initially at the turn of the 20^th century even the word camisole was used too, but replaced by 'Bust Bodice' by 1905. (Above Left - Wrap around camisole style bra.)

In her bra history book 'Bras', Rosemary Hawthorne tells of her collection of brassières and of one that is stamped ' Brassiere. Model 441, British Made ', then of another 2-3 years older marked 'LA CYBELE' (No 18 British Made)'. By 1915 the magazine 'The Lady' recorded pretty bust bodices or brassieres as essential wear. Rosemary Hawthorne's bra history book is very informative and she often describes genuine examples of bras, corsets and girdles she has collected or has had donated to her.

Eve's Apples Gives Bra Tips to Cosmopolitan Magazine

EXTRA! EXTRA!
READ ALL ABOUT 'GETTING YOUR IDEAL BRA'!

Now in the February 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine US (with Mila Kunis on the cover), Eve's Apples' bra expert gives shopping tips on getting your best bra in The A-Cup Revolution by Mina Azodi, Senior Editor at Cosmo. The top four shopping tips for small breasts are:

1. Try a Demi Cup Bra
Demi Cups look great on women who have small busts, especially shallow breast tissue on top of the bust. Most women think they're small busted because they have shallow breast tissue. We love that Mina Azodi highlighted the importance of breast tissue. Mina wrote that, "Small breasts are typically larger on top than on the bottom, so this low scooping style (demi cup) gives just the right amount of support where you need it."

2. Go Tighter
Most women are wearing a band size too big! "Eighty percent of your bra is held in place by the band (not the straps), so it should be a snug fit. A good rule of thumb: You should be able to fit only two fingers between the band and your skin."



3. Eyeball the Underwire
Red Flag: This is SO important because most women are wearing are bra cup that is too small. Most bra consultations I give people have issues with the underwire cutting into the breast tissue, making the bra cup pucker away from the breast, similar to doing a peek-a-boo affect. Most women think that the bra cup is too big. Untrue, the bra cup is too small!

"If you aren't filling out the bra, double-check that the underwire is framing your boobs, not cutting them off. Otherwise, you may need to go up a size for a wider cup."

4. Check Out Your Profile
Turn to your side and raise your arms above your head. If the back of the band moves up, it's too big. It should be even all the way around your torso. Still frustrated on getting a bra that fits like a dream?

Try our Online Bra Consultation! We'll give you personalized, detailed information about your bra size, breast shape, body type and bras recommended for you based upon your needs and wishes!

Stay tuned for Eve's Top 10 Tips in getting your ideal bra!

BBC America Presents: Small Breasts & I

BBC America recently introduced Small Breasts & I that documents women's candid feelings about their small breasts. In Small Breasts & I, they uncover "the complex, poignant, and sometimes amusing relationship women have with their tiny breasts. Talking candidly, three women reveal how they really feel about their own bodies and the lengths to which they'll go to change their situation."


A boob job isn't necessary to help women look and feel their best in bras! The right bra and correct size will not only enhance the curves you have, it will help you see how gorgeous you are already!

SMALL BREASTS & I BBC VIDEO


In my experience, some women feel exactly like the woman in the video and other are on the opposite end of the spectrum, loving the fact that they have a small bust. No matter if you are confident or not, you can find a way to look and feel better in bras than you ever thought possible. The first step is getting a great fitting.

A great fitting will tell you what bra size you wear and what bras will look best on your body type. Many small busted women think that there aren't bras out there made for them. Untrue. There are great cleavage bras (yes, small busted women can have cleavage), bralettes, lace bras, t-shirt bras, wireless bras and more.

If you thought you were going to spend a life time in a ill-fitted bra, chin up. There is hope! All you need is a few minutes and some measurements! We can help you!

To help small busted women look and feel their best, Eve's Apples Lingerie is spending 2011 to "Size Up The Web." We want every small busted and petite breasted woman to have an opportunity to get measured properly while providing them respect and privacy.

Here's to a wonderful New Year, Lingeristas!

Bra Finder: Find Your Perfect Bra Today!

What does a women do who is frustrated with bra sizes, has a small bust or a petite body, and wondering how she's going to get a good bra fitting? Bra shopping in person can be hard, not to mention online!...

Not anymore! Eve's Apples has developed a fun, easy to use Bra Finder that was made with you in mind.

Not every woman was created the same body and the same is true for women with small breasts. A woman with a 34A bra with full breast tissue can look bigger than a woman with a 32C bra with shallow breast tissue. That's one reason why so many women are wearing the wrong bra size. Many shallower busted gals think that they must be an "A" cup because they don't have full breast tissue. That isn't always the case.

The Bra Finder takes that information into consideration so that you will get the bra that closest fits your body type.

In order for you to get an accurate fitting as close as possible to being in an actual store, we've added additional features of the Bra Finder. The features are as follows:

• Breast Type: Fitting questions about your body type - to give a more accurate reading
• Breast Shape: The fullness of your breast tissue dictates what kind of bras will work best on your body
• Functionality: What is the ultimate purpose, desire of use of the bra
• Price: How much do you want to pay
• Size: Click on your bra size (you can calculate it here too or skip it) to find you results

Painless. Specific. And curtailed for you to get your own personal bras according to your body and needs!

This is one of Eve's favorite features on the online website. It's fun, easy and made for you! Click on Eve's Apples Bra Finder to get your basic t-shirt bra, sexy bra, or perfect bra today!

Enjoy!
