 Rocky Mountain News: Spotlight Columnists
As the inventor of the modern bra, experts point to Frenchwoman Herminie Cadolle in 1889, whose innovation was that the support came from the shoulders instead of from below, and New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob, who received a patent for the "backless brassiere" in 1914.
Cadolle's invention was marketed as a health aid, while Jacob's was born of necessity: She was dressing for a party and realized that a whalebone corset wouldn't look good under her sheer evening gown.
So she and her French maid fabricated a bra from handkerchiefs and ribbon, and took orders for her creation that very evening, though she later sold the patent for a mere $1,500, according to inventors.about.com.

 Questions & Answers: Brassiere
As an aside on the way words can shift in meaning over time and between languages, a brassière in modern French most commonly refers to a baby’s vest (in the British sense of an undershirt) or to a lifebelt, while the usual word for a bra in that language is soutien-gorge, literally a bosom support.
This last name seems to have been bestowed by Herminie Cadolle, who marketed the first type recognisable as its modern form in France in 1905.
Though the early history is somewhat confused and open to conflicting claims, the first American patent was issued in 1914 to Mary Phelps Jacob (so it is sometimes said that the bra is 90 years old this year).
