Did you know that the first bra was only designed a hundred years ago, in 1914? 

It was created and patented by a writer named Caresse Crosby, as she saw a need for an undergarment that could support women’s breasts.

This piece of clothing was perhaps the most significant clothing invention of all, because of how common they are in modern society and how impactful they’ve been in the fashion industry.

Because of this, today is National Lingerie Day – and regardless of how you feel about bras, this is a day to be celebrated!
