Hi ladies !

In case you haven´t heard the news, the world´s oldest bra has been found by an archaeologist in China. Approximately 1000 years old bra has a cotton padding for push up effect and straps almost like a modern bra. Officially the first bra was made by Mary Phelps Jacob in 1913 but it seems that this wonderful garment comes from ancient history! :) :)


Joanna, the bra lady

Ps. this is not a joke

A 1000-year old bra, eh? Gives a whole new meaning to the term "long-lasting support." :mrgreen:

Joanna,

Interesting. What did they use for hooks and to give it a little stretch?

On the famed terra cotta transgender warriors of the Qin dynasty, no doubt. 8)

Hmmmm, lets see now. Some 20,000 years ago some bright lad in Italy depicted carefully dressed hair on ivory figurines as well as a sketchy G-string, and a hairstyle with bangs on a small ivory portrait. The Minoans were wearing open bust corsets about 3,000 B.C. Now the Chinese have found a 2,000 year old bra.

Did you see that the Chinese archaeologists also found the oldest evidence for stir fry as well? They said they found a Wok of Ages.

OK, so it's been a long day!!! :)
