Whether
they were meant to flaunt your breasts - or hide them - the first bras
date back to ancient times, and like most fashions, they reflect the
social and economic changes of that era.
Today women have the option of pushing-up, covering-up, and everything in between, and a new video created by Glamour charts the evolution of the bra over the past 500 years.
Beginning
with the constricting mamillare from the Roman Empire and ending with
a hypothetical design meant for robots in 2100, the clip highlights the
prominent styles and history of the bras that debuted in various eras.
