Referring to an unmarried female as <i>woman</i> may, in such a culture, imply that she is sexually experienced, which would be an insult to her family.</p> <p>In some settings, the use of <i>girl</i> to refer to an adult female is a vestigial practice (such as <i>girls' night out</i>), even among some elderly women. In this sense, <i>girl</i> may be considered to be the analogue to the British word <i>bloke</i> for a man, although it again fails to meet the parallel status as an adult and the only true American English parallel to <i>girl</i> is <i>boy</i>. <i>Gal</i> aside, some feminists cite this lack of an informal yet respectful term for women as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny#Misogyny_in_language" title="Misogyny">misogynistic</a>; they regard non-parallel usages, such as <i>men and girls,</i> as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexism" title="Sexism">sexist</a>.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

The word <i>girl</i> originally meant "young person of either sex" in English; it was only around the beginning of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century" title="16th century">16th century</a> that it came to mean specifically a <i>female</i> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child" title="Child">child</a>. Nowadays <i>girl</i> sometimes is used colloquially to refer to a young or unmarried woman. During the early <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s" title="1970s">1970s</a> feminists challenged such use, and use of the word to refer to a fully grown woman may cause offence. In particular previously common terms such as <i>office girl</i> are no longer used.<br /><br /><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

It protests against crinolines or crinolettes of any kind as ugly and deforming….[It] requires all to be dressed healthily, comfortably, and beautifully, to seek what conduces to birth, comfort and beauty in our dress as a duty to ourselves and each other.</i> <a href="http://www.glily.com/preraphs.htm" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.glily.com/preraphs.htm" rel="nofollow">[3]</a></dd></dl><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Preachers inveighed against tightlacing; doctors counseled patients against it; journalists wrote articles condemning the vanity and frivolity of women who would sacrifice their health for the sake of fashion. Whereas corsetting was accepted as necessary for both beauty and health, tightlacing was viewed as vain and unhealthy. However, it was in many respects simply an intensification of ordinary Victorian fashions, and many of the images of feminine attractiveness that a Victorian woman saw around her (in fashion plates, advertisements, etc.) were depictions of highly-corseted women.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Physician <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Bunker_Stockham" title="Alice Bunker Stockham">Alice Bunker Stockham</a> railed against the corset and said of the pregnancy corset, "The Best pregnancy corset is no corset at all." <sup id="_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform#_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> The "emancipation union under flannel" was first sold in America in 1868. It combined a waist (shirt) and drawers (leggings) in the form we now know as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_suit" title="Union suit">union suit</a>. While first designed for women, the union suit was also adopted by men. Indeed, it is still sold and worn today, by both men and women, as winter underclothing.</p> <p>In 1878, a German professor named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Jaeger" title="Gustav Jaeger">Gustav Jaeger</a> published a book claiming that only clothing made of animal hair, such as wool, promoted health. A British accountant named Lewis Tomalin translated the book, then opened a shop selling Dr Jaeger’s Sanitary Woollen System, including knitted wool union suits. These were soon called "Jaegers"; they were widely popular.</p> <p>Dress reformers also promoted the emancipation waist, or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_bodice" title="Emancipation bodice">emancipation bodice</a>, as a replacement for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corset" title="Corset">corset</a>. The emancipation bodice was a tight sleeveless vest, buttoning up the front, with rows of buttons along the bottom to which could be attached <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petticoat" title="Petticoat">petticoats</a> and skirt. The entire torso would support the weight of the petticoats and skirt, not just the waist (since the undesirability of hanging the entire weight of full skirts and petticoats from a constricted waist — rather than hanging the garments from the shoulders — was another point often discussed by dress reformers).<a href="http://www.canadiana.org/ECO/PageView/91023/0008?id=d6bdd073d6" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.canadiana.org/ECO/PageView/91023/0008?id=d6bdd073d6" rel="nofollow">[2]</a> The bodices had to be fitted by a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressmaker" title="Dressmaker">dressmaker</a>; patterns could be ordered through the mail.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

She displayed her new clothing to temperance activist and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette" title="Suffragette">suffragette</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Cady_Stanton" title="Elizabeth Cady Stanton">Elizabeth Cady Stanton</a>, who found it sensible and becoming, and adopted it immediately. In this garb she visited yet another activist, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Bloomer" title="Amelia Bloomer">Amelia Bloomer</a>, the editor of the temperance magazine The Lily. Bloomer not only wore the costume, she promoted it enthusiastically in her magazine. More women wore the fashion and were promptly dubbed "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomers_%28clothing%29" title="Bloomers (clothing)">Bloomers</a>". The Bloomers put up a valiant fight for a few years, but were subjected to ceaseless ridicule in the press and harassment on the street.</p> <p>Amelia Bloomer herself dropped the fashion in 1859, saying that a new invention, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crinoline" title="Crinoline">crinoline</a>, was a sufficient reform that she could return to conventional dress. The bloomer costume died — temporarily. It was to return much later (in a different form), as a women's athletic costume in the 1890s and early 1900s.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

This was known as the <b>dress reform</b> or <i>rational dress</i> movement. The movement had its greatest success in the reform of women's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undergarment" title="Undergarment">undergarments</a>, which could be modified without exposing the wearer to social ridicule. Dress reformers were also influential in persuading women to adopt simplified garments for athletic activities such as bicycling or swimming. The dress reform movement was much less concerned with men's clothing. It did have some effects on men's undergarments, such as the widespread adoption of knitted wool <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_suit" title="Union suit">union suits</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_underwear" title="Long underwear">long johns</a>.<br /><br /><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_dress_reform">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

The bra was made of sheer, stretchy fabric; had no metal wires or clips, and was pulled on over the head. One could say that it "asymptotally approached bralessness," but it was really a reaction to it. It gave trendy women something they could buy from the bra manufacturers, but it was designed for women who had already stopped buying the industry's products.</p><br /><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

He employed his engineering skills to design an underwired, cantilevered bra to emphasise her assets. Hughes added rods of curved structural steel that were sewn into the brassiere below each breast. The rods were connected to the bra's shoulder straps. The arrangement allowed the breasts to be pulled upward and made it possible to move the shoulder straps away from the neck. The design allowed for any amount of bosom to be freely exposed.</p> <p>Regardless, the emphasis on her breasts proved too much for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_Code" title="Production Code">Hollywood Production Code Administration</a>, which ordered cuts to the film. To obtain the Boards' required Seal of Approval, Hughes reluctantly removed about 40 feet, or a half-minute, of footage that featured Jane Russell's bosom. He still had problems getting the film distributed, so Hughes schemed to create a public outcry for his film to be banned. The resulting controversy generated enough interest to get The Outlaw into the theatres for one week in 1943, before being withdrawn due to objections by the Code censors. When the film was finally released in 1950, it was a box office hit.</p> <p>Russell later asserted that she never wore Hughes' bra, and that Hughes never knew.<sup id="_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-29" title="">[37]</a></sup> This story is now considered to be an urban myth. <sup id="_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-30" title="">[38]</a></sup>.</p><br /><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

The evolution of the bra reflects the constantly changing idea of what an 'ideal' woman should look like - flat, round, pointy, conical, or even 'natural'. The contemporary bra also reflects advances in manufacturing and availability of fabric types and colours, enabling it to be transformed from a utilitarian item to a fashion statement, countering the negative attitudes some women had about bras. Designers have also incorporated numerous devices to produce varying shapes, cleavage, and to give women bras they could wear with open-back dresses, off-the-shoulder dresses, plunging necklines, and the like.</p> <p>Two design challenges that bra manufacturers face at present seem paradoxical. On the one hand, there is a demand for minimal bras that allow plunging necklines and reduce interference with the lines of outergarments, such as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassiere#Types_of_bra" title="Brassiere"><b>shelf bra</b></a>. On the other hand, body mass and bust size is increasing<sup id="_ref-seigel_0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-seigel" title="">[32]</a></sup>, leading to a higher demand for larger sizes.<sup id="_ref-doreen_0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-doreen" title="">[33]</a></sup> Over a 10 years period, the commonest size purchased in the UK went from 34B to 36C.

A number of journalists <sup id="_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-19" title="">[22]</a></sup> who wrote descriptions of the incident drew parallels with the young men who had burned their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription" title="Conscription">draft</a> cards in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_the_Vietnam_War" title="Opposition to the Vietnam War">opposition to the Vietnam War</a> with the women's action and used the term "bra-burning." These parallels were encouraged by organisers such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Morgan" title="Robin Morgan">Robin Morgan</a>. Lindsay van Gelder's account in the New York Post carried a headline "Bra Burners and Miss America". <sup id="_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-20" title="">[23]</a></sup> The phrase became headline material and was quickly associated with women who chose to go braless, following <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germaine_Greer" title="Germaine Greer">Germaine Greer</a>'s comments.<sup id="_ref-hiley_0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-hiley" title="">[24]</a></sup> Feminism and "bra-burning" then became linked in popular culture<sup id="_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-21" title="">[25]</a></sup> <sup id="_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-22" title="">[26]</a></sup> and Greer became a metaphor for bra burning. <sup id="_ref-hiley_1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-hiley" title="">[24]</a></sup><sup id="_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-23" title="">[27]</a></sup><sup id="_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-24" title="">[28]</a></sup><sup id="_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-25" title="">[29]</a></sup><sup id="_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-26" title="">[30]</a></sup></p> <p>Since then anti-feminists have used "bra burning" and "braless" <sup id="_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-27" title="">[31]</a></sup>as derogatory and trivializing terms for the feminist movement.<sup id="_ref-burnbra_1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-burnbra" title="">[20]</a></sup> What got lost in the rhetoric, and is probably more important, is that it became quite acceptable in the 1960s and 1970s to <i>not</i> wear a bra. Thus echoes of the 'liberated 60s' or 'bra-burning 60s' have continue to reverbrate in women's fashion history.</p> <p>Many women stopped wearing bras, but few did so with a public ceremony: they simply left their existing bras in a dresser drawer and stopped buying more. The only women who took off their bras in public were strippers and bargain hunters in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filene%27s_Basement" title="Filene's Basement">Filene's Basement</a> in Boston: notoriously, many women stripped to their underwear or to nudity before trying on garments in this crowded store, which was well known to lack dressing rooms. In 1971, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Chronicle" title="San Francisco Chronicle">San Francisco Chronicle</a> columnist reported that the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley%2C_California" title="Berkeley, California">Berkeley</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Roos-Atkins&action=edit" class="new" title="Roos-Atkins">Roos-Atkins</a> store had closed its bra department because of poor sales. Berkeley was notably on the leading edge of social change: in the 1970s many outspoken lesbians lived there, and few lesbians wore bras then. (Roos-Atkins was until then a major clothing retailer in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area" title="San Francisco Bay Area">San Francisco Bay Area</a>. It closed in the 1980s.)</p> <p>Bra <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales" title="Sales">sales</a> were not noticeably affected by the protest, and manufacturers capitalised on the attitudes of sexual liberation by emphasising allure. They also promoted "no-bra" alternatives like adhesive pads that supported the breasts and covered the nipples. Nevertheless this era was perceived by the industry as a crisis, and a preoccupation, which led indirectly to multiple mergers and acquisitions and the development of large corporations.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Maternity and mastectomy bras began to find a new respectability, and the increasing use of washing machines created a need for products that were more durable.

Marketing campaigns like those for the "Snoozable" and "Sweet dreams" (Maidenform, 1962) promoted wearing a bra 24 hours a day.</p> <p>Cultural changes in the 1960s represented potential threats to the market.

Military women of lower rank were fitted with uniform underwear. Advertising appealed to both patriotism and the concept that bras and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girdles" title="Girdles">girdles</a> were somehow 'protection'. Dress codes appeared - for example, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Corporation" title="Lockheed Corporation">Lockheed</a> informed their workers that bras must be worn because of 'good taste, anatomical support, and morale'!. [[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military" title="Military">Military</a> terminology]], such as the highly structured conically pointed Torpedo or Bullet (or even Cone) bra started to appear in the 1940-50s, designed for 'maximum projection'. A new image was the Sweater Girl, a busty and wholesome 'girl next door' whose tight fitting outergarments accentuated her artificially enhanced <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curves" title="Curves">curves</a>, while under and outer wires appeared. Sweater Girls often wore <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet" title="Bullet">bullet</a> bras. The image portrayed by actresses like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Russell" title="Jane Russell">Jane Russell</a> (see <strong class="selflink">Trivia</strong>) of the "lift and separate" design went on to influence the development of later brassieres.</p> <p>The war presented unique challenges for the industry, women's occupations shifted dramatically, with far more employed outside the home and in industry, while limitations on material availability had a large impact on design. Advertising, promotion, and consumerism were limited but started to appear directed at minorities (e.g., Ebony in 1945) and teens. Many manufacturers only survived by making tents and parachutes in addition to bras. American industry was now freed from European influences, particularly French, and it became more distinctive.</p> <p>Following the Second World War, material availability, production and marketing, and demand slowly recovered. A postwar baby boom created a demand for maternity and nursing bras, and television provided new promotional opportunities.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

The bra was becoming more sophisticated, and home-sewn versions vanished in the 30s. In 1935, Warners developed what they called the 'Alphabet Bra', a bra made in a series of sizes corresponding to the letters of the alphabet (A, B,C, D...) and so women started taking an interest in the size of their and other women's breasts. In the UK, this standard was not adopted until the 1950s.</p> <p>As with other women's products, market uptake was largely the result of successful <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising" title="Advertising">advertising</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing">marketing</a>. Saleswomen who assisted clients in finding the right garment played an important part in this, as did the changing role of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women" title="Women">women</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society" title="Society">society</a>. Much of this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing">marketing</a> was aimed at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young" title="Young">young</a>.</p> <p>Bras rapidly became a major <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry" title="Industry">industry</a> over the 1930s, with improvements in fiber technology, fabrics, colours, patterns, and options, and did much better than the retail industry in general. Innovations included Warners' use of elastic, the adjustable strap, the sized cup, and padded bras for smaller-breasted women. In the US production moved outside of New York and Chicago, and advertising started to exploit Hollywood glamour and become more specialised. Department stores developed fitting areas, and customers, stores and manufacturers all benefited. Manufacturers even arranged fitting training courses for saleswomen. International sales started to form an increasing part of the U.S. bra manufacturer's market. Prices started to make bras available to a wider market, and home-made competition dwindled. Other major manufacturers of the 30s included Triumph, Maidenform, Gossard, (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtaulds" title="Courtaulds">Courtaulds</a>), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirella" title="Spirella">Spirella</a>, (Spencer), Twilfit, and Symingtons.</p> <p>The desired silhouette of the 1930s was a pointy bust, which further increased demand for a forming garment.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

A low, sloping bustline become more fashionable. Brassieres from the late 1910s and early 1920s were merely slightly shaped bandeaus (bandeaux), holding the bust in and down by means of a clip attached to the corset.</p> <p>This culminated in the "boyish" silhouette of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapper" title="Flapper">Flapper</a> era of the 1920s, with little bust definition. The term Flapper was coined by the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency in the 1920s for their younger customers. Bra manufacturers were competing against "binders" that simply flattened the breasts. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgyne" title="Androgyne">androgynous</a> ("boyish") or prepubescent figure then in style downplayed women's natural curves through the use of a bandeaux brassiere. It was relatively easy for small-busted women to conform to the flat-chested look of the Flapper era. Women with larger <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breasts" title="Breasts">breasts</a> tried products like the popular Symington Side Lacer, which when laced at both sides pulled and helped to flatten women's chests. Some 'bras' of the early 1920s were little more than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camisole" title="Camisole">camisoles</a>, and they or a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemise" title="Chemise">chemise</a> were often worn in place of the now-aging corset or the newer bra.</p> <p>In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1922" title="1922">1922</a>, Russian immigrant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Rosenthal" title="Ida Rosenthal">Ida Rosenthal</a> was a seamstress at the small <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> dress shop Enid Frocks. She and her husband William Rosenthal, along with shop owner Enid Bissett, changed the look of women's fashion. They noticed that a bra that fitted one woman did not fit another woman with the same bra size, and they thus developed the concept of cup size. They also developed bras for all ages. Their innovation was designed to make their dresses look better on the wearer. It increased the shaping of the bandeaux bra to enhance and support women's breasts: hence the name "Maidenform",<sup id="_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-11" title="">[13]</a></sup> <sup id="_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-12" title="">[14]</a></sup> a play on the name of an earlier company, "Boyishform".<sup id="_ref-uplift_5" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-uplift" title="">[9]</a></sup> The company they founded became the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenform" title="Maidenform">Maidenform</a> manufacturing company.<sup id="_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-13" title="">[15]</a></sup> Maidenform routed Boyishform by 1924, accenting and uplifting rather than flattening the bust. Thus the modern 'supportive' uplifting bra was born. The major changes in design were the appearance of distinct cups, backless bras, and underwiring, and newer fabrics such as rayon, tricot, or milanese.</p> <p>These fashion changes coincided with health professionals beginning to link breast care and comfort to motherhood and lactation, and campaigned against breast flattening (race-suicide), and the emphasis shifted from minimizing the breasts to uplifting and accenting them. Women, especially the younger set, welcomed the bra as a modern garment.</p> <p>While manufacturing was beginning to become more organised, homemade bras and bandeaux were still quite popular, usually made of white cotton, but they were little more than bust bodices with some separation, and the elite favoured custom shops.</p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

At that time, the only acceptable undergarment was a corset stiffened with whalebone. Polly found that the whalebone visibly poked out around her plunging neckline and from under the sheer fabric. Dissatisfied with this arrangement, she worked with her maid to fashion two silk handkerchiefs together with some pink ribbon and cord.</p> <p>At the request of family and friends, she made more of her new device. When she received a request for one of her inventions from a stranger, who offered a dollar for her efforts, she realized that her device could turn into a viable business.</p> <p>On November 3, 1914, the U.S. Patent Office issued a patent<sup id="_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-10" title="">[12]</a></sup> for the 'Backless Brassiere'. Her patent was for a device that was lightweight, soft and separated the breasts naturally. Jacobs' brassiere was an improvement, but did not in fact supply much support, and is recognized today as a breast flattener, a style that later became the rage during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapper" title="Flapper">Flapper</a> era of the 1920s.</p> <p>Although it was not the first bra to be commercially produced in the U.S., she was the first to use the name "brassiere" for her invention (rather than the older term "bust supporter"). While earlier patents of a related nature existed, she is sometimes credited as the modern inventor of the bra.</p> <p>Polly's business did not prosper, and she sold the patent to the Warner Brothers Corset Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for $1,500 (or over $25,600 in today's money). Warner's manufactured the "Crosby" bra for a while, but it does not seem to have been a popular style and was eventually discontinued.<sup id="_ref-uplift_3" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-uplift" title="">[9]</a></sup> The patent, later valued at $15 million, was the foundation for Warner's business. The corset was doomed, and Warner Brothers success was sealed, when in 1917 the U.S. War Industries Board asked women to stop buying corsets to free up metal for war production. This was said to have freed some 28,000 tons of metal, enough to build two battleships.</p> <p>It has been said that the bra took off the way it did in large part because of World War I. The Great War shook up gender roles, putting many women to work in factories and uniforms for the first time. The war also influenced social attitudes towards women and helped to liberate them from corsets. However women were already moving into the retail and clerical sectors. Thus the bra 'came out', from something ('bust girdle') discretely tucked into the back pages of women's magazines in the 1890s, to prominent display in department stores such as Sears, Roebuck and Montgomery Ward by 1918. Advertising was now promoting shaping the bust to contemporary fashion demands, and sales began to grow.<sup id="_ref-uplift_4" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres#_note-uplift" title="">[9]</a></sup></p><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Source from :</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">http://en.wikipedia.org/wik</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_brassieres">i</a></p><br /><br /><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />_uacct = "UA-2277389-1";<br />urchinTracker();<br /></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
