	InMySexyLingerie.com - Brassiere (Bra)
		The brassiere was at first an alternative to the corset, for negligée or at-home wear, or for those women who had medical or political objections to corsets.
		Early brassieres were either wrap-around bodices or boned, close-fitting camisoles (both worn over the corset), and were designed to hold the bust in and down, the corset providing upwards support.
		Brassieres from the late 1910's and early 1920's were merely slightly shaped bandeaus, holding the bust in and down by means of a clip attached to the corset.

	How brassiere is made - Background, History, Raw materials, Design, The manufacturing process of brassiere, Quality ...
		Derived from the french word meaning upper arm, the brassiere is a mass-produced support undergarment worn by women that consists of two fabric cups attached to two side panels, a back panel, and shoulder straps (unless strapless) that fits snugly.
		Brassiere manufacturers, like other clothing manufacturers, must supply not just a functional item but one that appeals to a large enough segment of women that the products can be sold with a profit.
		In prototyping and in manufacturing, the brassieres are inspected and expected to be within 0.125 in (0.3175 cm) of the desired measurements (one French company requires that the brassiere must not deviate from the standard pattern more than 1 mm[0.0394 in]).

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Brassiere and Otto Titzling
		Titzling sued, but Brassiere won in court, and that is why today we call a lady's frontal uplifter a brassiere instead of a titzling.
		"Brassiere" is an ambiguous word to attempt to trace because it was around a long time before anyone thought to use it as the name for a woman's breast-holding undergarment.
		"brassiere" had come to be synonymous with "bodice." By the 1920s, it had come to identify cupped breast support garments, which is where the word remains today.

	Brassiere history is the marker of continuous improvement
		Women of Crete, as brassiere history goes, were and are known to have worn a simple corset that supported their breasts at the base and a very early prototype of the bra, known as a strophium, was in use in Roman times.
		Brassiere history amply shows the aspiration of various inventors in different epochs towards stopping the time when it comes to preservation of the youthful shape of female breasts.
		The first patent for brassiere in the USA was given to Mary Jacob, which was a crucial stage in the brassiere history.

	Spirella Corsets in the 1960
		The brassieres came in almost as many styles and variations as the girdles and corsets they were designed to complement.
		Fashion Line brassieres from 1960 and 1964 carried the success of the style 31 into the future but ultimately, the lightness of these garments would be their undoing.
		Although a long-line brassiere benefits from proper fitting, and certainly made-to-measure is ideal for the non-average figure, there's little to be gained from a made-to-measure bandeau.

	Athletic brassiere
		Brassieres are known in the prior art which individually exhibit one or more of the features of the present invention.

		When she test-wears a brassiere or a girdle, she is able to report on its specific qualities and suggest any changes necessary for comfort, size or strength.
		The method I use in my class, and the one which I find to be the easiest and the most accurate for a bra measurement, is to put the tape measure around the chest line of the woman and the upper fleshy part of her back at the top of the arm pit.

	Where did the Brassiere come from?
		The history of the brassiere, more commonly known as the bra, reveals that its form and purpose has been shaped by the current fashion trend.
		The bra, not Mary, was the belle of the ball, and Mary began sewing bras for friends and family.
		She had made the fatal mistake of failing to publicize her venture and, in an unwise business move, she sold her rights to the brassiere to the Connecticut based Warner Brothers Corset Company for a token $1,500.

	World Wide Words: Brassiere
		If you have heard a story about its creation by a New York garment maker named Otto Titzling, don’t believe a word of it — it was a hoax perpetrated by Wallace Reyburn in 1971 in a book entitled Bust-Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling and the Development of the Bra.
		Its early history suggests that the word ought to appear in English in the second decade of the twentieth century, and the Oxford English Dictionary indeed dates its first example of the word brassiere to 1911.
		However, I’ve been able to track down large numbers of examples of the term in the years before this (it became especially common in advertisements in American newspapers from about 1907 onwards), though this was a direct borrowing of the then usual French term for a bust corset.

	Mary Phelps Jacob, Inventor of the Modern Brassiere
		The first modern brassiere to receive a patent and gain wide acceptance was a bra invented by a young New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob in 1910.
		The difference being that this brassiere is meant to feature the modern woman's breasts somewhat more discretely under a blouse or outer layer of clothing, or privately to a lover.
		Running a business either was not enjoyable to Polly or she failed to properly market the product, for she soon sold the brassiere patent to the Warner Brothers Corset Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for $1,500 (or over $25,600 in today's money).

	History of Brassiere -- Types of Bras
		A brassiere or bra is a foundation garment for women consisting of shoulder straps, two cups, a center panel, an underbust band, sides, and a back.
		It is said that brassieres were invented by men so that women's breasts would be smaller, and thus more like a man's.
		In 1960's, many women publicly discarded their bras as a symbol of female liberation as a form of protest; however, "burning the bra" was not a widespread practice.

	AUE: FAQ excerpt: "titsling"/"brassiere"
		"Brassiere" is first recorded in a Canadian advertisement of 1911, and in the U.S. Index of Patents for the year 1910 (published in 1911).
		Dictionaries derive it from obsolete (17th century) French brassiere = "bodice", from Old French braciere = "arm protector", from bras = "arm".
		[...] Given the word's history and that country's language heritage, it is not surprising that the first occurrence of the "brassiere" in English comes from Canada.

		The actual execution may be a bit oblique, but the sentiments contained within are agreeable enough.
		La Brassiere follows neatly in the footsteps of Needing You, arguably the most influential Hong Kong film of the new millennium.
		In that, the film is a resounding success, as the sight of Lau Ching-Wan and Louis Koo with makeshift breasts is probably worth the price of admission alone.

	[KFCC] La Brassiere Review
		Story: In a desperate attempt to create an original bra and leap ahead of the competition, a renowned brassiere company decides to break the mold and hire two male designers to add unconventionality and uniqueness to their project team.
		Cool enough might I add, to star in such a ridiculous, eccentric and irregular slapstick comedy such as "La Brassiere." But in all actuality, "La Brassiere" has something I haven't seen in a film such in a long time: Spirit and affection.
		As mentioned earlier, the film has some true heart and it's totally surprising to see a film such as this take itself seriously and stray away from the path of no-brainer comedies.
