There are different opinions about the invention of the world's first bra. New York socialite Mary Jacobs is generally credited with being the inventor of the modern bra. She designed bras to replace ugly corsets. Around 1913, Jacob bought a very light and almost transparent tight-fitting women's evening dress, but her stiff and embroidered mesh corset ruined the smooth lines of this beautiful new dress. So Jacob thought of a way. She simply didn't wear a bra and sewed a simple "bra" with a pair of silk handkerchiefs and a few ribbons. In 1914, she applied for a patent for this simple invention, and since then the bra has become an indispensable personal companion for women around the world.
