The Pre-Bra Era

Medieval dress was designed primarily for functionality with few concessions made to emphasize the female form. Prior to the 1400's women did not support their breasts as it was generally believed there was no reason too nor was there any support apparatus available. During the Renaissance period however, many changes began to appear in female attire including an early version of the corset. As the corset evolved, the different forms continued to push the breasts upward and higher to the point that the breasts almost appeared to spill forth from the woman's top. Female breast fashion remained basically unchanged until the French Revolution when both the corset and low cut bodices disappeared until the end of the Napoleonic era. In the meantime, the Industrial Revolution was beginning to take place in western European countries and most notably England. Even though English fashion styles were considerably different than French, the corset remained a constant and essential element of female fashion and form. The social upheaval and wars of the early 1900's brought about the first radical changes in western dress in 500 years when women's clothing evolved to a more free form style and the corset virtually disappeared.  back    next
