What is the feng shui of bras?
It is said that the word "bra" first appeared in the American Fashion Monthly of 1907 and was first used in Britain of 1908. Since 19 13, there have been pictures introducing bras, saying that they can independently hold up breasts and hang them on their shoulders with suspenders. Due to the persistent view of women's perfect posture in the late Victorian era and Edward VII era, the widespread promotion of bras was delayed. 1. In the years between the two world wars, if the bra made women's breasts look like spilled milk, then the invention of the bra did restore the proper posture of the breasts to a certain extent. Not only that, but the appearance of bras also means a complete change in the way you dress. 1928, new york's fashion magazine published an advertisement about "light underwear", that is, the image of a happy woman abandoning her petticoat with her left hand and wearing a corset with her right hand announced the arrival of the bra era. According to records, the first patented bra in America was invented by a woman named Mary Phelps Jacobs. The girl who entered the social circle suddenly got tired of the stiff corset when attending a dance, so with the help of a French maid, she made an underwear similar to a bra with two handkerchiefs and a pink ribbon. When she appeared at the dance in an elegant evening dress, her naturally prominent breasts immediately attracted envious eyes. Later, she made many similar works for her girlfriends around her, and applied for a patent in the name of Caresse Crosby at 19 14, and the so-called "backless bra" was born. Later, this patent was bought by Warner Bros. Corset Company for $65,438+0,500. It is estimated that the later value of this patent should add at least four zeros after 1500$. However, although the early bras were gaudy and exciting, they lacked real support. Therefore, when a woman's breasts taste the joy of birds coming out of the cage, she still hopes to find a stable home while being free. 19 14, shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Germany and France started another war in the underwear industry: the former still insisted on corset and chest lifting, while the latter began to advocate small breasts made of strapless elastic bras. The war finally ended with the victory of France. Today's flat-chested girls will smile from ear to ear if they return to the era of 1920, because at that time, women were bent on "eliminating" breasts and fat buttocks. In order to squeeze their bodies into a flat shape, they crowded in front of the counter selling bambo and let the long pearl necklace hang down their dresses perfectly. Later, with the abandonment of bras by girls, gauze materials as thin as cicadas became popular. However, not all women are willing to dress up as boys. Ida Rosenthal and Enid Bissett of new york think that flat chests are unattractive, while breast-shrinking bras are uncomfortable. As a partner of a clothing company, they decided to design a bra that can set off the natural curve of breasts and find sexy for women. This kind of bra, which was later called "natural support chest", was originally marketed by themselves as a model, and the result was even better than they expected. This is the origin of the famous "girl bra company". In the 1930 s, the structure of women's underwear was not much different from today. Although department stores still stubbornly display conjoined petticoats, skirts, corsets, garters, corsets and conjoined underwear on the shelves, the simple combination of bras and underwear has become the mainstream. 1935, Warner Company, which bought Jebco's patented bra for 1500 dollars, took the lead in introducing bras with different cups from A to D, setting a unified standard for the world's chest shape. The real golden age of bra began in 1938 after DuPont invented elastic fiber. Although the outbreak of World War II quickly curbed the use of this raw material in civil industry, women still tried their best to make various bras and underwear from recycled nylon parachutes and other military materials. After World War II, American companies quickly launched a new series of rayon bras, and developed cross-stitch and rotary knitting methods to make conical cups. This bra, commonly known as "torpedo", really makes women's breasts look like torpedoes ready to go, which is shocking. 1949, the "ladies' styling bra company" successfully launched the circular knitted "Chansonette", also known as "bullet bra", which became popular all over the world109 in the following 30 years, with a sales record of 90 million pieces. In the late 1970s, Sturm und drang's bra industry finally slipped into the stage of computer virus. At that time, a kind of jogging became popular in America. Two women who love jogging actually sewed a man's belt into a jogging bra, which was developed into a main sub-product line of the bra market by merchants. The so-called feng shui turns around, just like the corset was once brilliant, no force can stop the charm of the bra! 1992 The June issue of fashion magazine declared: "A bra that exposes cleavage and walks on the edge of light can best show the new charm of women." In the February issue of the same year, "Meng Ke Single Wave" directly advised women: "Don't be shy, exposing cleavage is popular!" In the United States, from 65438 to 0994, the bra industry grew significantly with an annual turnover of $3 billion. This is also a year when magic bras are popular all over the world. When supermodels appeared in overwhelming advertisements wearing this bra that can change the shape of breasts, the fashion of breast augmentation began to regain its full popularity. 1April, 1994, American magic bras made their debut in new york, and 3,000 sets were sold in 10 days. In August of the same year, the magic bra landed in San Francisco, and Macy's actually put on a stunning look to welcome it: not only a pipe band was waiting at the door, but also a group of opera tenors were singing hymns, and the guards transporting the magic bra were a group of glamorous football cheerleaders. The scene of another department store is even more bizarre. The magic bra was sent by a bulletproof armored car! Crazy shoppers began to wait before the store opened. As soon as the store opened, the bra was robbed. Looking through the fashion magazines from 1993 to 1995, you will find that the photos of "holding the chest" were very popular on the cover of the magazine at that time. Some male models held them up from the back of women, and some female models touched themselves. A model under the pseudonym "Gail" revealed a little secret about nipples when she recalled her experience of shooting magazine covers: "Photographers like stiff nipples best and think they can arouse sexual desire. So we put ice cubes on the nipple and let it be stimulated to harden. It really hurts! Nipples are either very sensitive or numb with ice. " Some people have done statistics, flat chest and breast enhancement are about 40 years. Small-breasted girls who are now ridiculed as "poached eggs" or "asphalt roads" still have to stare at the scenery 40 years later.
