Bra History

The bra has enjoyed a colorful history.  They were allegedly invented by an American named Otto Totzling (wrong!) and burned by feminists in the 1960’s.

The “over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder” is a necessary evil in many women’s lives…but who do we have to blame for this often uncomfortable, but ever-so-sexy piece of clothing?

2500 BC Women on the island of Crete begin using bra-like garments to lift their bare breasts out of their clothing.

450BC-285AD Roman and Greek women preferred to play down their chests, using a band strapped around their breasts to reduce their bust size.

Cleavage Has Many Components

It’s not the size of your set that determines your cleavage; breast shape and their position on your torso also count.  “Two women can have the same cup size, but one woman’s breasts might be fuller in the middle, giving her greater cleavage”, says Dr. Casas.  Another woman might be only an A or B, but if her boobs are naturally close together, she’ll have deeper decolletage.  The width of your torso also affects your depth. If your body is narrow below your shoulders, you’ll have an easier time creating a deeper valley between your peaks!

So where am I going with this?  The UpBra, of course. Regardless of your shape, the UpBra will enhance your cleavage, naturally - it’s all you.  Coming this fall…
